Think short tags are either off or on by default... do you have ?php .. ? ? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The php5 port applies heaps of patches to the php.net sources; I think you'll save yourself lots of grief by using the port. I suggest (saving configs and) uninstalling php, then install it from lang/php5. Assuming your ports tree is up to date - and it had probably better be regarding dependencies - then install php5 (5.2.something). Make sure to set the apache module on (it's turned off by default, for some bizarre reason, so pkg_add -r php5* is broken), by running make config first, though the options screen should come up on the initial install anyway. You may want to install lang/php5-extensions too ..
