Re: Browsers don't see PHP scripts?!

Then I'm lost someplace....from the manual...a serious possibilty Example 5-1. Ways of escaping from HTML 1. <? echo ("this is the simplest, an SGML processing instruction\n"); ?> 2. <?php echo("if you want to serve XML documents, do like this\n"); ?> 3. <script language="php"> echo ("some editors (like FrontPage) don't like processing instructions"); </script> 4. <% echo ("You may optionally use ASP-style tags"); %> <%= $variable; # This is a shortcut for "<%echo .." %> The first way is only available if short tags have been enabled. This can be done via the short_tags() function, by enabling the short_open_tag configuration setting in the PHP config file, or by compiling PHP with the --enable-short-tags option to configure. The fourth way is only available if ASP-style tags have been enabled using the asp_tags configuration setting. ken TV Karthick Kumar wrote: > > Not all servers understand all php tags ?. > As far as I know, once you have PHP engine installed and running in your > webserver, all the php tags WILL be understood by the servers and will be > executed properly. > '<?' is the tag reference for PHP tags which can be modified / changed by > changing the PHP configuration, including the .php file extension.
