Unknown Variable Behavior !!

dmaitor

Hi,
The below script is an example of what i am having, except that it is shorter.
The problem is that i can't use or echo the variable $TEST once it's in the HTML table:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<?
$TEST = 'example';
echo $TEST;
?>
<table>
<tr>
<td><? echo $TEST; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

The script used to work before, but it just stopped !!!! - (and no major changes were made to the script).
I have re-installed php, still nothing. (PHP Version 4.3.10)
Any clues?

Thanks
-M

<? is deprecated and may be turned off. Try <?php
To check this, try looking at the generated HTML source. If you see "<? echo" then that's the problem.
