<?php is more proper.
$ is to signify variables.

Some PHP config files don't allow for the use of <? but <?php is globally acccepted.
You can also use <% %> and <script type="text/PHP"> or something like that.

I went with the JS syntax. But yeah, <?php is recommended as Eric said, but I think more people use <?

Learn about variables, control structures, and functions.
From there on you should, for the most part, be able to get most everything.

Shorthand isn't enabled everywhere, therefore if you are releasing anything, or doing something like that, <?php is the best.
