my website uses <? instead of <?php to start php code blocks. It appears that this is not working with xampp. I defined my sites in hosts and xampp's apache virtual hosts to be mywebsite-dev.com. When I call that up in the browser I get a blank page. Reveal source shows the php code.
I am using Dreamweaver to create and edit code. I set up a testing server and I see a similar problem. If I insert <?php where I had <? the particular block of code after that executes.
I have seven different sites. The phpBB2 one looks weird when shown on the testing server and when displayed in the browser. One uses Gallery and that won't go to the testing server at all. When I put it's url as defined in the hosts file it goes to the remote web address. My Wordpress site works perfectly.
I am unsure of where this is coming from. On my website I have php version 5.2.9. The xampp version is 5.3.1. Is this being caused by the newer php version in xampp?
My server is Linux Fedora 9.
Any ideas on how to fix this, other than rewriting about 500 megs of code?
Thanks
