RE: [PHP] Problem with "<?xml ....>" inside the PHP code, due to "?"

Turn off the short tag option in the PHP ini file, and always use '<?php' as your php start tag. When short tags are enabled, PHP sees the '<?' in '<?xml', and assumes it is a start tag. - Theo -----Original Message----- From: Scott Fletcher [mailto:scott@abcoa.com] Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 1:03 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Problem with "<?xml ....>" inside the PHP code, due to "?" Thank you all for the feedback! I was trying to say the problem lie with the "?", not with the quote or double quote. Because PHP use "<?" also, so when php read this "<?xml", it think the "<?" is intended for PHP. So, using the escape character does the trick, "\" but now I get the invalid format as a response from the other side that read in the XML codes I send.
