What ETbyrne is referring to is actually called 'alternative conditional structures' and can be highly useful when writing mixed PHP and HTML pages.

As for short tags, the best answer I could give you is to not worry about them. Whatsoever. They're bad coding practice. In addition they almost got wiped out in PHP 6, though it appears they're keeping them for now, with any luck they should be completely gone a few version releases afterwards.
