What does this do?

Hi,

I have a php which has the following line added in the html page. Sorry, I'm very new to PHP.

<td><?=add('<input type="radio" name="Prefix" id="Prof." checked="checked" value="Prof." />')?>Prof.</td>

it basically inserts the function add to input a radio button in the page. That I understand. The only thing that bothers me is the equal sign in front of 'add. What's the purpose of having it? Is it to force the function to be parsed immediately even if no POST was done. Could someone clarify this? Thanks :o

<?=$value; ?>

Is just a short way of doing

<?php
echo $value;
?>

[Snake_PHP]

this is short for echo function

<?
$site = "http://phpbuilder.com/board";
?>

<div><? echo $site; ?></div>

or

<div><?=$site;?></div>

answer madwormer2 is clear
