May be that page should be updated ... beside that my provider has it enabled and so i enabled the short tags on my development server as well. So i can only thank you for your advice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-19 13:22:36] cmb@php.net Besides what nikic said: if you're experiencing such strange behavior again, have a look at the generated HTML source code! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-19 13:22:31] spam2 at rhsoft dot net > well to make it a final the problem only arrises when i > start my php section with <?. > it does not occur when i start it with <?php well, to make it final: that's why you should not mix different issues in one bugreport and hence your broken snippet has alos no place in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73232 http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.short-open-tag <? is short-open-tags which defaults for years now to disabled that it worked in some configuration with 5.6 was because someone enabled it you can build PHP7 with --disable-short-tags and that's what you see because you ignored that many years that you shold write <?php and not <? but as said: this "issue" which is none has no place in that bugreport which is about something cmpletly differnt at all ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-19 13:18:34] nikic@php.net Please check your "short_open_tag" ini setting. You have it enabled on PHP 5 and disabled on PHP 7. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-19 13:18:29] jhdxr@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php > But a if(strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'],"192.168.10") !< 0) still does > what it does in previous versions !< is an invalid operator in PHP, please double check the manual (http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php) before you try to create something. btw, rhsoft has already point out that you should read the manual to see how strpos works, especially the warning message in red box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
