Question

I migrated a php website to a new server.

 Old PHP Version -> 5.2
 New PHP Version -> 5.5

When a script contains the T_OPEN_TAG

<?

instead of

<?php

the server is sending a 500 Server error. How is it possible to allow that php could start with

<?

thank you

Set

short_open_tag=On

in php.ini

And restart your Apache server.

ahh, thank you very much. phpinfo is saying: short_open_tag = Off. Will test it in a couple of minutes and mark it as fixed. – labu77 Mar 20 '17 at 11:32

Thank you. There is also a option in Plesk under PHP Settings to allow short_open_tags – labu77 Mar 20 '17 at 11:58
