Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.echo#refsect1-function.echo-description
---
"echo() also has a shortcut syntax, where you can immediately follow the opening tag with an equals sign. This short syntax only works with the short_open_tag configuration setting enabled.
I have <?=$foo?> foo."

The <?=$foo?> foo is no longer supported in PHP >= 5.


Expected result:
----------------
bar

Actual result:
--------------
bar

The <?= shortcut syntax still works fine in PHP 5, provided you have the short_open_tag INI setting enabled, as the manual says. (Or you have PHP 5.4, which enables it globally.)
