error in xampp server not reading

Question

I have problem in my xampp server php file not work if I write it like this

<?
echo " Not Work " ;

?>

Work

<?php 

echo " it's work " ;

?>

the server will not read the content with the first status , how to fix it to work with both in same time ?

Answer 1

You need to enable short tags to be able to use <? and ?> without the PHP bit.

Look for:short_open_tag in php.ini and set it to:

short_open_tag=On

Then restart Apache.
