Question

I try to run a PHP page. But it always shows source code content after greater than symbol ( > ) until meet the ( ?> )

For example:
My Code is:

<?
    require_once('includes/global.php');
    include_once('includes/auth.php');

    .... // bla bla bla

    $stats = STATS::singleton();
    $stats->parse_all();

    $product = PRODUCT::singleton();
    $product->getNewVersion();
    $product->getInstalled();
?>
... // bla bla bla

And when I run the page, it will display on browser as below:

parse_all(); $product = PRODUCT::singleton(); $product->getNewVersion(); $product->getInstalled(); ?>

Before parse_all() is the greater than symbol. And it stops displaying code content until ?>

Thank you very much.

You need to put <?php in the beginning not <? if you don’t have short tags enabled

If you want short tags enabled you need to put this short_open_tag=On in your php.ini

If you don’t have access to your php.ini you can also do this in an .htaccess with this php_flag short_open_tag on

See the link here for the explanation of short tags.
