Hi folks,
I recently ran into a PHP5 install that rejects the idiom, <? // code ?
and in fact renders that in the output that is sent to the browser.
Yikes!
The sysadmins could not say why this was but suggested it was a PHP5
thing.
So my question to you: is <?php going to become required? And if it
is will we not be allowed to echo by the shorthand <?php=$foo? as we
used to <?=$bar?? As that was broken too.
Thanks for any advice,

This is PHP short_open_tag setting in your php.ini file. In PHP5 it is
set to off.
Off is recommended because the short tag can cause problems with xml,
which uses the same tags.
It also means you can't use the <?= syntax.
On Apache, you can override this in your .htaccess file, if the host
allows it.

The short_open_tag option is a PHP configuration option in php.ini.
It's not reliable or portable to rely upon the availability of short
tags. The <?=$foo?synta x relies upon short tags.
It's not a problem with PHP5, it just depends on how PHP is configured.

Just use sed or awk to change all instances of "<?" to "<?php". You
don't want short tags.

I think what is really disturbing is he stated that his sysadmins did
not know what the problem was.

Just use sed or awk to change all instances of "<?" to "<?php". You
don't want short tags.
Don't forget about the <?=$foo?synta x, it's not as simple as just
changing "<?" to "<?php". Something equivalent would be:
<?php echo $foo; ?>

Since the include function is called from within a PHP script, why
does the included file have to identify itself as a PHP again by

One would assume that the PHP interpreter works like any other, that
is, it first expands all the include files, and then parses the
resulting text. Can anyone help with an explanation?
