NathanLedet Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I do believe this is a setting in your php.ini http://us3.php.net/ini.core Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/131224-solved/#findComment-681276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 There is a setting in the php.ini file that controls that which is "short_tags", but just get used to typing "<?php" instead of "<?", it's only three more characters. Also, using "<?php" will guarantee your script will work on all servers.

hakmir Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 That's a good idea. But I have some study materials and almost all of them has <? instead of <?php. I will still use <?php but How can I change the setting so that it will recognize <? too. I checked php.ini file but couldn't do it.

Maq Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I think it's 'short_open_tag'. I would highly recommend that you do not use short tags. It's not good for portability reasons and it's just not good practice. I don't even know why they have this option in the first place...
