Xampp PHP Problem

[Abolish]

Hey guys, I've been using Xampp for a long time and this is my first post, well because theres an issue and I just can't seem to find the answer

Xampp 1.7.3 seems to be overlooking all php code if it starts with only <? but if I change it to <?php it works fine

What I would like to know is how I can get it to read <? as php like php used to...

Thanks in advance

Thank you, yeah I didn't know what it was called to look it up though, thank you very much testing right now

Okay so, I did do this, it worked for many of my scripts, but not all, for some reason it still does the same thing with some of the scripts...

Any clue?

Without any information about these scripts? no chance!
