Problems with "<?" with windows7

[marechiaro]

Excuse my English but I'm using an automatic translator.
I installed XAMPP 1.7.2 and I had problems with the words "<?" before
was accepted with older versions of XAMPP.
Must use

Code: Select all

<? PHP

because I recognize the command.
Another problem that I have not solved and the error when I use

Code: Select all

$ query_results =
mysql_query ($ query);

.
I hope that someone would be able to give suggestions.
Regards.

Must use

See short_open_tag in php.ini

Another problem that I have not solved and the error when I use

Code: Select all

$ query_results =
mysql_query ($ query);

.

Why do leave a space between '$' and variable names? It gives parser error.

Excuse my English but I'm using an automatic translator.

Be careful when using these auto translation services, for example Google Translate adds spaces in code contained in between forum Code tags when translating forum post web pages.

Here is an example from a recent topic in the German language forum:
Open Google Translate in your browser.

Paste this link into the Translate a web page text box
http://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=38029

Select German » English in the drop menus, then click on Translate.

You will see many spaces added to the code in the Code tags of both Wiedmann's and Nobbie's posts.

Izzy says is like ... Google Translate put spaces between the $, and information.
To date I still have not solved the issue.
I reviewed the code several times but nothing.
I hope someone can help me.
There place the code and the error here under.
Thanks again to everyone.

Code: Select all

6     $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `tabella`");
7     $query_results = mysql_query($query);
8     $num_record = mysql_num_rows($query);


Warning: mysql_query() expects parameter 1 to be string, resource given in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\file.php on line 7

[Wiedmann]

Just remove line 7.
