How can I allow <? and <?php to both work?

[Druid]

I just updated from a phptriad installation of apache/php/mysql to manual installations of them, all the most current ones.

It's not that big of a deal but most of my code I used <? instead of <?php.
Currently any code with <? code; ?> will be displayed as plain text in "view source".

Any way I can get both tags to be allowed?

This is why the manual recommends using <?php to begin with; <? is only supported because of old code that was written in the days before XML.
See the [man]basic-syntax[/man] page.
