Re: [PLUG] Help with Apache PHP

I downloaded the PHP source and obtained the default, untainted php.ini file. The following is a snippet:

; Allow the <? tag. Otherwise, only <?php and <script> tags are recognized.
; NOTE: Using short tags should be avoided when developing applications or
; libraries that are meant for redistribution, or deployment on PHP
; servers which are not under your control, because short tags may not
; be supported on the target server. For portable, redistributable code,
; be sure not to use short tags.
short_open_tag = On

By default, 'short open' tag (sometimes referred to as an ASP tag) is on. Perhaps this should be checked? At any rate, I think it might be a good idea to open the php code with <?php just to test.

Actually, I could be wrong, I don't have a default php.ini file handy. I think <? ?> does NOT work by default, and you have to change a setting in php.ini to get it to work. <?php ?> will always work.

definitely works, granted it only saves 3 characters, it's nice
to use if you're going to stop php and use strictly html, and then
resume php. for standards.
