[waqasahmed996]

<script type="text/javascript">
function abc()
{
<?
echo "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa";
?>
}
</script>

do you encounter any problems therewith?

[waqasahmed996]

yes unable to print anything within php tags

[Dormilich]

have you short tags enabled in your php.ini? do you get any Error Messages? (if activated).

[waqasahmed996]

short tags is not enabled in php.ini

[Dormilich]

therefore PHP doesn't recognise your code.


-- I'll move this thread over to the PHP forum

how can i enable short tags

and after enabling short tags my code will work which i have sent in my first message??

[Dormilich]

there's an even simpler solution: use php tags!

<?php
// code goes here ...
?>

Open your php.ini file. Search for 'short_open_tag'. Set it's value to On.

Be warned: not every server will have these enabled. So, if you're going to be moving around servers, porting your scripts, you should not rely on these.

@waqasahmed996
if you're using xampp to enable php short tag just go to xampp\php\php.ini

go find short_open_tag = Off

and change the status to be on
