<?php= doesn't work on my dev server

anyone know how I would be able to turn on the short hand echo statements like this within the php.ini file... which I would assume that it would be in.

Never mind... I found it.

php.ini file
short_open_tag = ON

It's <?=. However, I always use the full <?php echo. I think it's a good practice.
