short tag problem

[jeeva]

hi there,

 

previously i was using php4  now i am going to use php5. For that i have installed php5 in my local system.Usually i am coding like

<? ?> instead of <?php ?>.If i use <? ?> then the all code will display as text. for that i have cofigured in ini file.Now its working fine in my localhost, but i need to do the same thing for my server also. As of now i cant access my server.

 

my qtn is

  can we change this through code?

just use your fav text editor to replace all instances of <? with <?php

 

Should take about 30secs

in php.ini set sort_open_tag = On and restart web server (Apache)

heehee

replace all

'<?=' with '<?php echo '

then replace all

'<? ' with '<?php '

then replace all

'<?phpphp ' with '<?php ' (do this twice just in case)

 

LOL i hate using short tags

Short tags should be banned - they are a relic of yester year and intefer with other stuff you may wish to do in php - such as xml files... DON'T USE THEM
