Group: Code style · PhpStorm name: ShortEchoTagCanBeUsedInspection

In templates, a PHP block that only outputs something — <?php echo $x ?> — reads better as the short echo tag <?= $x ?>.

Example

Before

<ul>
<li><?php echo $item->name; ?></li>
<li><?php echo strtoupper($code) ?></li>
<li><?PHP echo $first, ' ', $last; ?></li>
<li><?php print $total; ?></li>
<li><?php print($note) ?></li>
<li><?= $already ?></li>
<li><?php echo $a; echo $b; ?></li>
<li><?php /* hint */ echo $c ?></li>
</ul>

After fix

<ul>
<li><?= $item->name ?></li>
<li><?= strtoupper($code) ?></li>
<li><?= $first, ' ', $last ?></li>
<li><?= $total ?></li>
<li><?= ($note) ?></li>
<li><?= $already ?></li>
<li><?php echo $a; echo $b; ?></li>
<li><?php /* hint */ echo $c ?></li>
</ul>
