This is not a PHP support list. Please try php-general for general PHP discussion/support. You may also find www.php.net/support.php to be helpful in the future. Your issue has to do with the fact that using "<?" (short_open_tag style) is configurable in PHP. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.short-open-tag to read more about this directive. You must set it to on in your php.ini to use those tags as an alternative of the <?php open tags. They are normally turned off by default and as such make your code configuration dependent. I would advice leaving them off and writing all your code using the stand php open tags instead. In any case please direct further questions/discussion to the php-general list from now on about PHP help/support or other general PHP code discussions. You can also see the other mailing lists available for other topics and make sure you read the rules before post. http://www.php.net/mailing-lists.php Thanks, Sherif
