1.
quote from my PHP.ini

2.
the setting is in your system's php.ini

normal would be
short_open_tag = Off

if you really want to use short tags then apparently you would have to

short_open_tag = On

 

Thanks a lots Hans.

 

For security it is always a good idea to use long open tags :

<?php

   ....

PHP:

Long open tags always work, short open tags only when configured.
Your code might work now with short open tags, but suppose your hoster changes the server settings. Your PHP will not be executed, but exposed to the outside world because the source will be served like a text page.

Imho using short open tags means taking unnecessary risks.
