Or was I living in a box last 2 > years? The new kid on the block here is XHTML. Many, many people are nowadays authoring HTML pages in this new variant which is a well-formed XML version of HTML 4.01. XHTML files start with a <?xml ?> declaration, making this a increasingly common problem. I think short_open_tag = off is the sensible default setting. Among other things, this would encourage the developers of off-the-shelf PHP software like Keystone to start using this safer syntax. Marko -- markonen@php.net
