If you have total control over the server, and know that you're never using PHP with XML, that's fine and you can enable it using short_open_tag. Otherwise, it's not available. For instance, I typically write code which could be executed on a client server over which I have no control. It *must* not rely on this sort of thing. That's why we always use the long <?php form in the manual; it's the only one (apart from <script language="php">) which is always guaranteed to work. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |Torben Wilson <torben@php.net> Netmill iTech| |http://www.coastnet.com/~torben http://www.netmill.fi| |Ph: 1 250 383-9735 torben@netmill.fi| +----------------------------------------------------------------+
