WampServer

i got a test.php file similiar like this:

<?
echo "testing";
?>

when open in localhost, it did not display the "testing" words. but when i change to
<?php
echo ""testing";
?>
it works. IS THERE ANYWHERE TO CHANGE THE READING FROM <?php ?> to <? ?>

The option 'short_open_tag' can be found in the php.ini file, as explained in the PHP manual at [php.net]. Tip: make sure you modify the right php.ini file which controls the PHP settings when PHP scripts are used under Apache.

Please note that <? is reserved for XML, and that all styles beside the official <?php ... ?> are deprecated.
