From: lhanson at clarifysolutions dot co dot uk Operating system: windows xp/2000 PHP version: 5.2.3 PHP Bug Type: CGI related Bug description: Short open tags not work in php5.2.0 and not in php5.2.3
Description: ------------ It appears that there is a problem when attempting execute a script from the command line. If the script has Short open tags "<?" instead of "<?php" php.exe does not seem to recognise that we are starting php code. I tried to tell php.exe to use a specific ini file (with the -c switch) that had open short tags enabled. However no avail. It also took me quite a long time to realise that it was the tags that was causing me the issue. I am wondering what the reasons would be for removing the acceptance of short tags from the command line interface...
