Does the PHP interpreter get invoked for every <? ?> tag set?

How many times is the PHP interpreter invoked for a page?

You aren't "invoking" the interpreter each time you put a <? ?> in your
page. It's almost the opposite - whatever is not in between <? ?> just
gets spit back out.

So, the interpreter is only being invoked once.
