What are the best practices for handling PHP short tags to avoid conflicts with XML syntax?

Using PHP short tags can lead to conflicts with XML syntax, as XML also uses the "<?" opening tag. To avoid these conflicts, it is recommended to use the full "<?php" opening tag instead of "<?". This ensures that the PHP code is properly interpreted and does not interfere with XML parsing. 

&lt;?php
// Your PHP code here
