Hello.
I just did a 'manual' installation of php on my winxp. A very weird (maybe)
problem encountered. It doesn't 'recognize' tags. but it recognizes
tags. Clueless. Someone please help me out.
regards
Abhisek

Re: What"s the difference between <? ?> and <?php ?> ???

There's a setting in php.ini that dictates whether you can use or if
you have to use

It's called "short_open_tag" (
http://us.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.short-open-tag )

It's usually a good idea to use to maintain portability. If what
you write gets moved to a system that has short_open_tag turned off (like
your current system it seems) your code won't break.

thanks for the quick reply. I agree it is good to follow the rules (i mean
standard ;) ), But the thing is if I use some script written by someone
else, i have to rely on his/her choice.
Thanks

Re: Re: What"s the difference between <? ?> and <?php ?>???

In your php.ini, if you want to work, you need to turn on
"short tags". However, it is better to write long-tag compliant code in
the first place. However, going through and editing that much code can
be a bit of a bother.
