moving from linux to windows 1

[mufka]

I'm moving a site from a linux dev server to windows because to run linux, I must do it with VMware. I noticed one peculiar thing with my php files. Windows doesn't always recognize the <? (needs <?php instead and sometimes that doesn't even work). Is this a common issue? Does it indicate a problem with my coding of the files? Should I be asking this as an Apache issue?

This more likely comes down to whether or not your php.ini on widows is set to have short tags on or off:

short_open_tag boolean

Tells whether the short form (<? ?> ) of PHP's open tag should be allowed. If you want to use PHP in combination with XML, you can disable this option in order to use <?xml ?> inline. Otherwise, you can print it with PHP, for example: <?php echo '<?xml version="1.0"'; ?> . Also if disabled, you must use the long form of the PHP open tag (<?php ?> ).

With that said, I find it strange that the full tag has problems also.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Maybe mufka changed all short open tags...

<?=$var ?> [gray]--[/gray][red]/[/red][gray]-->[/gray] [s]<?php=$var ?>[/s]
           [gray]----->[/gray] <?php echo $var; ?>
