#19461 [NEW]: short_open_tag = Off is set, but PHP tries to parse anyway

From: kelson@speed.net Operating system: Linux 2.4.19 PHP version: 4CVS-2002-09-17 PHP Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Bug description: short_open_tag = Off is set, but PHP tries to parse anyway Using today's snapshot (php4-STABLE-200209171500) with Apache 2.0.40, despite the fact that "short_open_tag = Off" is set in php.ini and shows up as Off in phpinfo(), PHP is trying to parse <? tags anyway. PHP is trying to parse, for instance, the XML declaration, which results in blank output and the following error: PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in (filename) on line 1 Returning to the previous snapshot I was using (php4-STABLE-200209060900) fixed the problem.
