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,
JG

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.

I think what is really disturbing is he stated that his sysadmins did
not know what the problem was.
I guess one could argue that this is a programming question, not a
sysadmin question. Though that is not a sysadmin I'd want on any of my
projects.

Although I have no sys admin experience, I would think any decent sys
admin should understand how to appropriately configure software on the
server(s) for which they are responsible. The apparent lack of
adeptness of the OP's sys admins does not bode well for future problems.
Also, it seems as if at least some minimal programming experience
overlaps, in that they should probably know how to write shell/batch
scripts. Perl is also popular among sys admins, from what I've read...

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
enclosing its code in <?php... <?>
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?
Thanks,
