#17234 [Com]: setting short_open_tag in .htaccess does nothing

ID: 17234 Comment by: php at rules dot net Reported By: php at rawhide dot cjb dot net Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: On Red Hat Linux 9, with Apache 2.0.40 and PHP 4.2.2 neither adding php_flag short_open_tag On to httpd.conf nor to .htaccess has any effect Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-10 22:32:54] darren at dzr-web dot com On Red Hat Linux 9, with Apache 2.0.40 and PHP 4.2.2, attempting to change short_open_tag from .htaccess also fails. I've tried both: php_value short_open_tag Off and php_flag short_open_tag Off and neither has any effect. Changing the value in /etc/php.ini does. I'm not sure which version number PHP was at when comment #8 below was posted, suggesting that a recent CVS version be tested, but I am guessing that 4.2.2 postdates that. This is precisely what I have installed: httpd-2.0.40-21.9 httpd-devel-2.0.40-21.9 httpd-manual-2.0.40-21.9 php-4.2.2-17.2 php-devel-4.2.2-17.2 php-imap-4.2.2-17.2 php-ldap-4.2.2-17.2 php-manual-4.2.2-17.2 php-mysql-4.2.2-17.2 php-odbc-4.2.2-17.2 php-pgsql-4.2.2-17.2 php-snmp-4.2.2-17.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-08 21:39:45] sniper@php.net No feedback was provided.

In my setup, /etc/php.ini says: register_globals = Off short_open_tag = Off and I have the following in a file which is included by httpd.conf: <Directory /foo/bar/baz> php_value register_globals 1 php_value short_open_tag 1 </Directory> A phpinfo() in /foo/bar/baz/phpinfo.php says: Directive Local value Global value register_globals On Off short_open_tag Off Off ie, php_value worked for register_globals but not for short_open_tag. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-17 03:45:39] jwoolley@php.net That last problem you mentioned ("Invalid command 'php_flag'") is fixed in CVS, just so you know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
