Hi all,
Something very strange in my new installed xampp.
I found that all my php nor working anymore without "<?php"
I used to use "<?" instead of "<?php" my html code.
it will only show blank without excute the code.

i.e.
Working one

Code: Select all

<?php
    phpinfo();
?>


Not working

Code: Select all

<?
    phpinfo();
?>


Anyone has any idea?

Regards,
Donald

Anyone has any idea?

The PHP manual knows everything about basic PHP behavior
(and which PHP ini setting is involved)

I found that all my php nor working anymore without "<?php"
I used to use "<?" instead of "<?php" my html code.

http://de.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phpmode.php

PHP's newest version 5.3.0 (which comes with XAMPP's newest release 1.7.2) removed the <? tag. It's now always <?php, I believe it was due to some complications when working with XML.

Dear Wiedmann and denebgarza,
Thanks for your quick respone and the useful information.
It works now.

Regards,
Donald
