How can the issue of PHP "short" open tag be resolved in Apache?

The issue of PHP "short" open tag can be resolved in Apache by enabling the `short_open_tag` directive in the php.ini configuration file. This directive allows PHP code to be written using the `<?` short tag instead of the full `<?php` tag. By setting `short_open_tag = On`, PHP will recognize and interpret the short tags correctly.

// Enable short open tags in php.ini
short_open_tag = On;
