<? and <?php directive

[Jay Binns]

I don't have <?php in the beginning of my scripts I just have <?. Now
the scripts wont run after I upgraded to php 5.1.6. How can I work
around the fact that all my scripts have <? in the beginning rather than
<?php ?

Thanks

Re: &lt;? and &lt;?php directive

We advise that you use <?php instead of <? because <? can be confused
with <?xml version="1.0"?> . However, if you turn short_open_tags to on
in your php.ini file you can use short tags

You have three options as I see it:

1) switch short_open_tags on in your php.ini file

2) as above but in an .htaccess file (if using Apache)

3) change all instances of <? to <?php
