Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-26 14:20:58] tkwright_233 at hotmail dot com abye there could be another variable in the php.ini, space required after tag start. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-26 14:18:00] tkwright_233 at hotmail dot com exactly. so the syntax engine should decide if it really is PHP or if is another tag, like XML. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-25 15:18:05] helly@php.net Short tags = '<?'. That matches '<?php' as well as '<?=' or '<?xml'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-25 14:34:29] tkwright_233 at hotmail dot com you do know the tag is in the HTML, not within a php tags? 1 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 2 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> 4 5 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> 6 <head> ... and, yes, short tags are enabled in my verson of php. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-25 14:19:46] helly@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 Turn Off ShortTags and \'<?xml will work.
