mahmood Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I reinstall my windows every 3/4 months for one reason or another and never had a problem with php installation - using windows installer and IIS - but this time I can't get PHP 5.2.3 working, I wonder if it is because of some changes in new version. This is what happens, the server completely ignors everything inside php tags and absolutely no error for example if I put <php>echo phpinfo();</php> I get a completely blank page. Any idea?

mahmood Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 <php></php> tags do not even exist. You should use the following as tags: <?php ?> Sorry it was a typo. The page remains completely blank for example if I type <? echo "test"; ?> Edit: I just tried <?php instead of <? and it works fine. How do I make changes so the old <? works as well?

wildteen88 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I would recommend you to code with full PHP tags rather than short PHP tags this helps to keep your PHP code more portable. However if you must you cna enabled a setting called short_open_tag Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/57837-only-a-blank-page/#findComment-286796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
