  Actually, it's the ?> that is causing the problem. If you attempt to:

echo "?> something <? something else";

in a browser, you get:

?> something

even though view source shows everything to be there. Inserting an 
'invisible' character between <? or using htmlspecialchars() which turns 
the > < into their html equivalents &gt &lt as NP found out shows that 
it's a browser issue, not PHP.
