Question

I have a foreach loop that iterates through comments as such:

<?php 
    $comments = get_comments(array("status"=>"approve"));
    foreach ( $comments as $comment ) { ?>
    <div class="comment">
        <h2><? echo get_comment_meta( $comment->comment_ID, "subject", $single = true ); ?></h2>
        <p class="message"><?=$comment->comment_content;?></p>
    </div>
<? } ?>

When I run it on a live server, I get the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in D:\UniServer\www\apps\app_name\wp-content\themes\sube\page-feedback.php on line 53

This doesn’t happen when I run the site locally.. so I’m thinking its a server configuration error.

Also, when I change the code so that it echo’s the content, it works fine. For example:

<?php 
    $comments = get_comments(array("status"=>"approve"));
    foreach ( $comments as $comment ) {
    echo '<div class="comment">
        <h2>'; get_comment_meta( $comment->comment_ID, "subject", $single = true ); echo'</h2>
        <p class="message">'.$comment->comment_content.'</p>
    </div>';
 } ?>

Your live server may not have the asp_tags php.ini directive set. According to the docs, this is what enables the variable-value printing shorthand. You will also want to make sure short_open_tag is enabled too.
