How does the use of short tags like <?= affect PHP code execution?

Using short tags like <?= can affect PHP code execution if short_open_tag is set to Off in the php.ini configuration file. This means that the short tags will not be interpreted by the PHP parser, leading to syntax errors or unexpected behavior in the code. To solve this issue, you can either enable short_open_tag in the php.ini file or use the full opening tag <?php instead of the short tag <?=. 

&lt;?php
// Code using full opening tag
echo &quot;Hello, World!&quot;;
?&gt;
