Hello guys,
I am using wamp and really want to use which saves me space and makes the code look excellent
I have already searched for short_open_tag,and the thing is that its already on and I still can’t use the which makes me angry.

I am using apache 2.2.11 with php 5.3.0

what on earth am I missing?

I really can’t believe I missed this, but thank you very much! Big time saver, but as Jem said better to change habits. Too many times I’ve deployed to a server and… ‘Doh’!

Although, who would argue with “…typing php after every opening tag is far too much of a pain in the arse…”.

Thanks for the advice Jem. I’d like to say I’ll bare it in mind but typing php after every opening tag is far too much of a pain in the arse, especially since I’m not creating most of my sites from scratch. I think it’s also a bad policy so I suppose I’m protesting a little: aside from the initial line, what else is it going to be in a .php file?

I don’t know if you’re aware, but most web hosts come with this turned off these days, so IMO it makes more sense to get into the habit of doing it the long way around locally. Not a big deal if you only ever use the same host but at work ‘we’ use multiple solutions so it’d be a pain in the butt to have to change everything up if I move a site from server to another.
