[horde] Enabling use of short tags in PHP code breaks XML.

[Brian Winkers]

Thanks for the pointer.
I found that I could disable short tags in the .htaccess file.

I added "php_flag short_open_flag off" to the .htaccess file in that
directory and the app seems happy again.

I'd still vote for always using the full <?php ?> tag to reduce the number
of possible problems.

Thanks for the lightning quick response.

Quoting Brian Winkers <brianw at gdinet.com>:

The level of breakage is incredibly arguable (see the php-dev archives), 
but in principle I agree with you. It's also a configuration option we 
depend on, which we try to avoid.

Anyone have any objections to going back to <?php echo instead of <?= in 
the HEAD branches?
