PHP uses as its standard opening and closing tags, with the short form ?> also available when short_open_tag is enabled in configuration. This syntax embeds PHP code within HTML files. Other languages like Coldfusion use , Python is not typically embedded in HTML this way, and ASP uses <% %> tags.
PHP embeds its code within `tags (or the shorthand ... ?>), which the server-side interpreter parses and executes before sending the resulting HTML to the browser. ASP uses<% %>` delimiters and ColdFusion uses CFML tags, so neither matches this specific tag syntax.
