PHP doesn't recognie <? -- only -- <?php

[one_mind]

Hi,

I found a script that i run locally but my php installation doesn't recognize <? as the start of a script so i have to go through and change them all to <?php

Is there a way to make it accept <?

Thanks

Hi one_mind,

You need to enable short tags in your PHP.ini file. Save and then re-boot the server.

That's the trouble with

short_open_tag

-- personally I never use them. Some related threads to help you make the decision about using them for yourself ...

Thanks Coopster,

I will only keep them on when using clients scripts that use short tags and i cant edit.
