xml declaration read as php...

[mkosmosports]

Hey,

 

Ive just got on my newly acquired hosting account and am starting to discover and modify things. One thing I did is modify .htaccess to allow me to parse for php code inside html files. However, now, the xml declaration is being read as php:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 

and returns a php error...

 

How can I get around this?

 

Thanks

Either disable short-tags on your server (with php.ini) or use this workaround:

 

<?php

echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?\n";

?>
<rest>
<of>
  <xml>
<stuff>
<here!>

Thanks chigley. I was considering the echo, which is probably what I will end up doing. The server is shared so I cant modify php.ini, do you think its worth it to try to disable short tags in htaccess?

ini_set() is also an option..
