Why shorthand matters
Shorthand echo tags are concise output syntax used heavily in view files and small templates. They are not unusual edge cases, so compatibility with them is a practical requirement.
Syntax Support
Shorthand echo tags change the shape of template parsing, so obfuscation needs to account for them explicitly.
Files that use <?= ... ?> are common in PHP templates. A packer that ignores that syntax can create broken output or malformed render behavior.
How the tool handles shorthand echo
The input is normalized during the compile step so shorthand output can be carried forward into packed executable PHP without depending on a simplistic direct string wrapper.
Where to test it
Use representative template fragments from real views, not only isolated one-line examples. That gives you a more accurate signal about output stability after obfuscation.
