PHP scripts won't compile

Postby PeterNMcArthur » 22. January 2013 15:50

Hello, I've been having this problem for about a week now and being a complete beginner I'm totally stumped! I've downloaded and installed XAMPP 1.8.1, initially I couldn't even open my PHP pages all that happened was firefox offered to download them for me. Now I can open PHP pages but the php within doesn't compile leaving me with lines of useless php throughout my pages. I have no idea how to fix this or what I've done wrong. I'm sorry for asking such a rudimentary question.

My control panel log is as follows:

Code: Select all

Hello,

Are you using the short open tags (<? ?> as opposed to <?php ?>)? Those tags are turned off by default and that shortcut is discouraged.
