#42103 [Opn->Bgs]: Short open tags not work in php5.2.0 and not in php5.2.3

ID: 42103 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported By: lhanson at clarifysolutions dot co dot uk -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: CGI related Operating System: windows xp/2000 PHP Version: 5.2.3 New Comment: They work just fine here. Check your php.ini settings and that it's actually been read by PHP. You can check it in phpinfo() section where it says what, if any, php.ini was actually loaded.

If the script has Short open tags "<?" instead of "<?php" php.exe does not seem to recognise that we are starting php code. I tried to tell php.exe to use a specific ini file (with the -c switch) that had open short tags enabled. However no avail. It also took me quite a long time to realise that it was the tags that was causing me the issue. I am wondering what the reasons would be for removing the acceptance of short tags from the command line interface... If you have any answers on this please do get in contact Reproduce code: --------------- <? $i = 10 echo 'im being displayed in the cli. i = '.$i ?> Expected result: ---------------- im being displayed in the cli. i = 10 Actual result: -------------- <? $i = 10 echo 'im being displayed in the cli. i = '.$i ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42103&edit=1
