Re: What's the difference between <? ?> and <?php ?> ???

There's a setting in php.ini that dictates whether you can use <? ?> or if you have to use <?php ?> It's called "short_open_tag" ( http://us.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.short-open-tag ) It's usually a good idea to use <?php ?> to maintain portability. If what you write gets moved to a system that has short_open_tag turned off (like your current system it seems) your code won't break. -TG ----- Original Message ----- From: "Abhishek Dutta" <abhisek.dutt@gmail.com> To: php-windows@lists.php.net Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2007 12:43:46 +0530 Subject: [PHP-WIN] What's the difference between <? ?> and <?php ?> ??? > Hello. > I just did a 'manual' installation of php on my winxp.
