hey all i just started messing with php again and im having a bit of trouble.. my book on php and its sample cd of examples has the tags <? phpcode ?> and the only thing that will work on my server is <?php.. is there any way to configure php to allow <? tags? what is the difference in them anyway? why doesnt <? work anymore?
plz help thanks ae
Look in your php.ini file for a line that says
short_open_tag = Off
and set it to on.
when you change that in the php.ini file how do you restart the php w/o restarting the computer, i tried restarting httpd but it didnt take effect
thx again ae
there is no way to restart php, the php.ini is only necessary for apache, so you need to restart apache, you said you did, but make sure you did, since that is how you would deal with reinitialize conditions in the php.ini for apache
