You should be able to change it in your .htaccess file if it wasn't locked down

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  php_value short_open_tag 1
</IfModule>

If you have access to an .htaccess but not the php.ini, simply add this to .htaccess in root of the php app you are planning on running:

php_value short_open_tag 1

I think the short_open_tag can't be modified with ini_set().

"`short_open_tag` is marked as PHP_INI_PERDIR in PHP <5.3.0, which means you can't change it with `ini_set()`" http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5633301/cannot-turn-off-short-open-tag-with-ini-set – Geo Dec 26 '12 at 19:04

You can use ini_set function for setting programmatically

Revised: I try using ini_set function to configure it but failed. You can check previous questions for better answer.
