fixes short tag for those of us who have them disabled

"PHP also allows for short open tags <? and ?> (which are discouraged because they are only available if enabled with short_open_tag php.ini configuration file directive, or if PHP was configured with the --enable-short-tags option. "

Wanted to merge this in as I like this project and am hoping to add some cool features to the foundation you have ^.^
