Thanks for the info. I think Discuz! is not stable in business and technique. I am thinking to transition the forum from Discuz! to WordPress if possible. Now I am trying to find and hire a php professional from upwork.

Hi Guys, Thank you very much again for your help. You are just great! As a system admin, this issue is too hard for me. If there is no simple solution, I will have to hire a PHP programmer to do the troubleshooting. Regards,

Yes. php 7x is still available. I will try it again after the web is back online from restoration. Thanks!

I will do it - replace all ?'.'> with ?> ---------------------------------------------------------------- The web is down with error 500. Errors are reported in the sitelock scanning log. Here are all of them: [22-Apr-2022 21:58:09 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/public_html/forumdata/templates/1_articlelist.tpl.php on line 19 [22-Apr-2022 21:58:26 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/public_html/forumdata/templates/1_articlelist.tpl.php on line 19 [22-Apr-2022 21:58:28 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/public_html/forumdata/templates/1_viewthread.tpl.php on line 9 [22-Apr-2022 21:59:26 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/public_html/forumdata/templates/1_viewthread_printable.tpl.php on line 16 [22-Apr-2022 22:00:12 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/public_html/forumdata/templates/1_viewthread.tpl.php on line 9 [22-Apr-2022 22:00:54 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/public_html/forumdata/templates/1_viewthread.tpl.php on line 9 [22-Apr-2022 22:00:54 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/public_html/forumdata/templates/1_articlelist.tpl.php on line 19 [22-Apr-2022 22:01:11 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/public_html/forumdata/templates/1_showmessage.tpl.php on line 7 [22-Apr-2022 22:01:33 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/public_html/forumdata/templates/1_viewthread.tpl.php on line 9 [22-Apr-2022 22:02:53 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/public_html/forumdata/templates/1_blog.tpl.php on line 19 [22-Apr-2022 22:02:59 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/public_html/forumdata/templates/1_showmessage.tpl.php on line 7 [22-Apr-2022 22:03:15 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/public_html/forumdata/templates/1_articlelist.tpl.php on line 19 [22-Apr-2022 22:03:53 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/public_html/forumdata/templates/1_showmessage.tpl.php on line 7 Error

More info: The web was reviewed and revised by a PHP/SQL programmer in order to be comparable with PHP 7x two years ago. It has been working fine until PHP 8 is applied recently by the host. Now it seems not working with php 7 for unknown reasons.

Hi gizmola, Thank you much for the info. I've located the php.ini file by using your way. Here is the result: [~/public_html]# grep short_open_tag /opt/cpanel/ea-php80/root/etc/php.ini ; short_open_tag short_open_tag = On short_open_tag is on.

I will try it when the web is back online from restoration. Thank you!

This troubleshooting method is somewhat hard for me unfortunately 😞. I am a Linux system admin and the only language (if it can be called a language) is shell scripting.

It looks like that the setting is already set on. See this: [~/public_html]# grep short_open_tag php.ini ; short_open_tag short_open_tag = On

I am going to learn it. Thank you much!

Would you please give me some details about how to enable them in php.ini? Here is what I got, that I don't know if useful: short_open_tag bool Tells PHP whether the short form (<? ?>) of PHP's open tag should be allowed. If you want to use PHP in combination with XML, you can disable this option in order to use <?xml ?> inline. Otherwise, you can print it with PHP, for example: <?php echo '<?xml version="1.0"?>'; ?>. Also, if disabled, you must use the long form of the PHP open tag (<?php ?>). https://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php

I totally agree with you, but it needs time and money.

Very good point. Thank you! Here is the code: 1 <? if(!defined('IN_DISCUZ')) exit('Access Denied'); ?><html> 2 <head> 3 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?=CHARSET?>" /> 4 <meta http-equiv="MSThemeCompatible" content="Yes" /> 5 <meta name="description" content="" /> 6 <meta name="keywords" content="" /> 7 <meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="TRUE" /> 8 <!-- --------------------------------------------------------- 9 10 11 COPYRIGHT ?Yidian.com.

The web is totally down now under PHP 7 and 8 (5 is unavailable). It was running well under 5. Thanks.

Any suggestion to fix it? Thanks!

You must be right. What would be the solution for the issue? Thanks.

Thanks benanamen for your reply! It was working fine under PHP 5x, but not working under PHP 7 and 8. Unfortunately I don't know how to fix it.

Hi, I've got a new php issue: "PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/public_html/forumdata/templates/1_articlelist.tpl.php on line 19" The line 19 is "<title>addquote('<?=$bbname?'.'>')addquote('<?=$navtitle?'.'>')</title>" I am the web admin and trying to find a php repair tool online but haven't got it yet. Would someone help me fix the code issue? Thank you very much in advance! nz
