Question

I am getting this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in
/ho…/ssd/recording-goodbye.php on line 1

I have found that this line is causing this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 

I think this is because short tags are enabled on this server, it’s a shared hosting account and I don’t have access to the php.ini file. Is there a way I can perhaps set the headers or escape this line?

This is the full content of recording-goodbye.php

<?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'; ?>
<Response>
    <Say>Thanks for your recording.  Here is what I heard</Say>
    <Play><?php echo $_REQUEST['RecordingUrl']; ?></Play>
    <Say>Goodbye</Say>
</Response>

Answer 1

This fixed it

<?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'; ?>
