<?SCRIPT LANGUAGE=PHP> not working?!? <?PHP does work...

[MrAkuma]

Hi, I have installed RedHat 8, Apache, PHP and mySQL, and I am having a very strange problem...

PHP works flawlessly, whenever I use a <?PHP tag, but when I try to use <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="PHP"> nothing shows up.

I made a simple script just like this:

<?PHP
echo 'Short tags<br>';
?>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="php">
echo 'Long tags<br>';
</SCRIPT>

And the output is: Short tags

If I look in the source code that the Internet Explorer shows, I see this

Short tags<br>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="php">
...

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks !

Why would you wanna do that anyways?
If you've installed all the components you've mentioned, there's no need to use <script>... 🙂

exactly what kamy99 said, why?!?!?

[MrAkuma]

What happens is that I have a website which uses <SCRIPT ... tags, a lot, and now it doesn´t work. PHP documentation says it should allways work, and I can´t find a bug in php.net regarding this. I really don´t know what am I doing wrong.

you have the pages with the .ext of .php, right?, cuz the only way i have ever gotten the script= to work is still with the extension .php, seems kinda dumb, but that is how it has worked for me in the past

[MrAkuma]

No, with .html, but if you add

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .include

in your .conf it works just fine.

yes i understand the .conf file, that is the only suggestion i had, it was a tip for a newb, sometimes they forget stuff like that, other than that i don't know, sorry 🙁
