Is it possible to stop Zend Studio from formatting embedded PHP like this?

Question

I want to upgrade to Zend Studio (currently using Netbeans), but I am slightly disappointed about how the formatter formats PHP in HTML attributes. Given this:

<tr bgcolor="<?php echo "red"; ?>">

Zend Studio will format it similar to this:

<tr bgcolor="<?php
echo "red";
?>">

Has anyone been able to change this behavior? Thank you,

Have you tried using?

<tr bgcolor="<?= "red" ?>">

No way! It worked. Thank you so much! I've never seen that syntax before. I'm assuming it's supposed to be inline? – Chris Laplante Mar 14 '11 at 20:48
Oh, wait I see. `=` means ` – Chris Laplante Mar 14 '11 at 20:53

Changing your writing syntax because your formatter isn't working correctly isn't the way to go. – Zar Jan 16 '12 at 16:45

Few comments about the pros and cons of short tags here: PHP echo vs PHP short tags

Slightly off topic but I recommend you use CSS not bgcolour for your colours etc.

Thanks for the link! I do use CSS, but I was feeling lazy so I ripped that snippet from the example project that comes with Zend Studio... so shame on them! ;) – Chris Laplante Mar 15 '11 at 20:58
