 Posted: Mon Aug 28, 2006 6:40 pm Post subject: Php tag <?= not recognized |
 |
|
Greetings.
I appologize if as question like this already been asked, I've checked the first 7 pages of posts... and if there is a topic for my question I've missed it...
I've just installed clean Abyss WebServer on WindowsXP platform (dont' throw stones at me... I was forced).
I've installed latest 5.1.6 and MySQL. All have been configured... or so I shought.
Strangely enough all code between <?php print 'This will be printed'; ?> tags executes just fine,
but if I use immediate-print tags (<?='This will be printed'?>) it is treated as simple text and not executed as PHP code.
I have not seen this problem before and was nto able to find any referances on it.
Any help or hints are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You have not told php what to do so its not going to execute it. You must use php tags, <?php and ?> and use a command telling it what to do with text you put in. echo() or print() will put out the text. Just putting text inside <? ?> tags wont do anything since thats not php.

| You must enable short_tags in the PHP configuration. However, I do not recommend you to use short tags since it screws up XML files (because they start with <?). |

Err... I believe you misunderstood me... the <?= tag does immediate print of what you specify in it.
Example:
| Code: |
<div>Your username is: <?=$UserName?></div>
|
Instead of:
| Code: |
print '<div>Your username is: '.$UserName."</div>\n";
|
It works on my other 3 servers... just not on this new one for some strange reason. |
