You can tweak it yourself with nearly no effort.
- Open your
\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf file
- search for your
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp"> line (~ line 66 - can be slightly different depending on your install directory)
- Inside this <Dicectory>-Block search for the
</Files> and
add AFTER:
- Code: Select all
php_admin_flag short_open_tag on
- safe this file and restart your Apache
Now you can safely set short_open_tag inside your php.ini to Off without losing the functionality of the XAMPP Administration page
For your overview, here the whole <Directory>-Block how it looks like in my own configuration (be careful, i have installed XAMPP to a different directory)
- Code: Select all
<Directory "C:/xampp177/htdocs/xampp">
<IfModule php5_module>
<Files "status.php">
php_admin_flag safe_mode off
</Files>
php_admin_flag short_open_tag on
</IfModule>
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
