gish Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I have just been given some code that is live on a web site. I pulled it down to my local linux machine and the php will not run. I have worked out the issue the php tags are <? scripting ?> it is missing the php. I have a couple of questions how do I get my local linux machine get <? scripting ?> this to work and I have a lot of code that is like this and I am sure that it is no longer secure is this right?

Pikachu2000 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 short_open_tags is a setting in php.ini that's now Off by default, will likely be removed entirely in a future version of php.

AyKay47 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 as pikachu stated, this setting is found in your php.ini file.. you will want to look for the directive labeled "short_open_tag" and set it to "on".. not trying to be an echo to pikachu here, however in the future the short_tag directive will most likely be removed.. I would speak to the owner of the site to have the short tags changed to full tags... using short tags these days is considered a bad practice..
