[NTLUG:Discuss] php and apache question

[Alton R. Pouncey, II]

Take a look in your php.ini file.  You will find this section:

; Allow the <? tag.  Otherwise, only <?php and <script> tags are
recognized.
; NOTE: Using short tags should be avoided when developing applications
or
; libraries that are meant for redistribution, or deployment on PHP
; servers which are not under your control, because short tags may not
; be supported on the target server. For portable, redistributable code,
; be sure not to use short tags.
short_open_tag = On

It looks like, in your case, the short_open_tag is currently set to
Off.  Change it to On and you should get the behavior you want.
