How to enable PHP short tags?
I am doing some JavaScript work on a Wordpress based legacy side. I am trying to get the page to run on my dev machine (OS X Lion), but am encountering a problem with code in the template not being interpreted. The template contains some code tags that look like <? echo($subpage_title); ?>. Those don't get interpreted. If I replace that with <?php echo($subpage_title); ?>, it gets interpreted correctly. I don't really want to replace that everywhere and it obviously works on the production server. Is there any server setting I have to change for this to work?
This is probably a silly question, but I have practically no PHP experience and Google is not really helpful when looking for symbols.
Thank you very much for any help!
Enable the setting called short_open_tag in the php.ini file.
This is controlled by the PHP short_open_tag configuration value. Turn that on for your dev machine and you should be good.
The short_open_tag configuration setting should be a good start.
Check short_open_tag PHP.INI directive.
