php tags in form visible

Dj Kat · November 4th, 2006, 12:47 PM

Hi,

I just installed php 5.2 with IIS on my computer. All works just fine but there is something really strange with my form pages.
When i have a code that looks something like the following my php source becomes visible in the input tag.

Code:

<?php
$myPhpString="this is a string";
?>
<form>
    <input value="<?=$myPhpString?>" />
</form>

So in my browser i can see "<?=$myPhpString?>" in my text field instead if seeing "this is a string" in my textfield.

Anyone have any ideas what this could be.

hai,
In php 5.2 you have to use like this,
<?php
$myPhpString="this is a string";
?>
<form>
<input value="<?php echo $myPhpString?>" />
</form>

Thanks for the reply,

Someone gave me a different solution to my problem. I had to enable my short tags in my php.ini file. now i can use the <?=?> syntax

Hi,

It's pretty easy to enable short tags actually. Open your php.ini filen and look for the following line.

Code:

short_open_tag = off

turn this to on and your done.
