Session Variable 2

[paseo]

What would be the proper syntax for the following:

<input type="text" id="FirstName" name="FirstName value="<? $_SESSION["FirstName"]?>"/>

....value="<? $_SESSION["FirstName"]?>"

[cameraman]

<input type="text" id="FirstName" name="FirstName" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['FirstName'];?>" />

Somewhere in here I saw a shorter syntax:
<input type="text" id="FirstName" name="FirstName" value="<?= $_SESSION['FirstName'];?>" />

but I don't think it would work on my server.

hasnt the use of open php without the php tags been depricated?

So this is fine
<?php echo

and this isnt
<?=

More on opening and closing PHP tags can be found here: Basic Syntax [us2.php.net]

I do not think it has been depreciated; it makes it slightly quicker to type :)
