PHP sentax for <?=

[chartahir]

<?=$var?>

What does this code mean, i see this in a code , but have to change i it to

<?php echo $var?>

to work for me.

The abbreviated PHP "open and echo" tag:

<?= /* everything here is outputted*/ ?>

Is the equivilent to:

<?php echo /* everything here is outputted*/; ?>

Note that <?=$var?> type syntax requires short_open_tag = On in your php.ini file, vhost section of httpd.conf or a .htaccess file.
