I have noticed that using short tags in PHP files does not work on any of my servers, all WIN2K.

When using short tags for includes the file will not be included and the page will not load correctly, using a long tag will work. Short tags are turned on in the php.ini.

Also <script> tags do not work at all, pages load but with errors and none of the javascript will function on the page.

Please look at phpinfo() for the true location of the used php.ini and the true setting for the short_open_tag directive.  So:

a) Tell us exactly what "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" is in phpinfo().
b) Make sure you edit this file.
c) Make sure you restart the web server after making changes to php.ini
d) See what phpinfo() says about this directive.

It is in c:\WINNT, the one I have been modifying all the time.

Same situation.

Please be specific with the questions below:

1) EXACTLY what does (a) say from below?
2) Did you restart the web server after editing?
3) What does phpinfo() say for this directive?
4) What value are you assigning to this directive in php.ini?
 [2003-01-07 07:54 UTC] mike_tharp at hermanmiller dot com 
A. It says C:\WINNT\php.ini

B. I edited that file to change the value for short tags to 1, or on.

C. Restarted IIS.

D. PHPINFO says that the directive is "on".

do you have ASP installed as well?
 [2003-01-09 07:50 UTC] mike_tharp at hermanmiller dot com 
I do not have any special ASP items installed on the servers, and we do not use ASP pages either.

<script> tags must have the language variable in "s now whereas before they did not have to be, this makes them work.

Closed then, feel free to open it again if you have an another problem.

Thank you for your report.
