I’m currently running through a tutorial for a CMS system which unfortunately uses short open tags.
I’ve confirmed that my host will not allow these in their PHP config, but that they run PHP in Apache mode (as opposed to CGI). To the best of my knowledge, this should then allow me to set the short_open_tag
flag to on
in an .htaccess file.
However, this appears to not be working. In the root directory, I've created an .htaccess file with just the following line, but the short open tags are still being ignored.
php_flag short_open_tag on
Am I doing something wrong? If not, can anyone suggest why it may not be working? Thanks.
Note: Someone has marked this question as being answered somewhere else. Not only does the question identified not have an accepted answer, it's based around and PHP config running in CGI mode, not Apache mode.
