I have not had this problem with any other server package (XAMPP, phpdev, etc). Basically, any time a '<?php' does not have the 'php' bit (it's just '<?') then I get the following error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in...
And then it lists the page/line number, etc. This is fine for me because I always put the 'php' bit in, but not so fine for the calendar script I'm running in which the author never put the 'php' bit in.
Is there some way to disable this check? I'm running the PHP swticher and using PHP4 (same problem in PHP5). Just a bizarre bug.
