yeah i even checked the apache config file to see where its pointing and I putting it where is supposed to go. it will show an html file but if you mix a few lines of php and save it as simple.php it still only shows the html. its weird. now i am using explorer 7. this is really wierd. i have configured this set up no less then 70 times and i wanted to try this all in one process. this is the only problem but its a big one.
So i will keep playing with it. hopfully someone else has had the same problem.
do not change your php.ini file to allow short style tags. if you move your scripts to another host, they will not work because most hosts have short tags disabled. also it is customary php coding practice to use full php tags.
Having a considerable platform developed using short tags, should I replace everything? Any know problems that may occur?
And <?=$any_variable?> It should be <?php=$any_variable?>
I'm teaching PHP now and I usually use PHP4 with Linux. Now, I've decided to install WAMP in the students PCs and I came across the problem of short tags compatibility.
The major problem is that I've tried to alter open_short_tag to On and the result was the same. No changes and short tags still won't work.
