Aha!

Ok bro this is what is going on. A php script can begin with < ?php OR < ? ...but other scripts as well can start with < ? .. in fact this is actually ASP methods (If I recall right)...

So that all depends on your server.. my preference in anything is to have a php script use < ?php tags rather than < ? though I believe dataface is using the < ? method. Now the remedy then is to either change all of the tags in your php files or to change the server settings...if you are using a hosting service they will have to do it for you. If you are running your own webserver, then you need to read the manual and it is somewhere in there. Mr. Steve might know already where to find it..


Which brings up the issue in the future Mr. Steve. Perhaps all of the dataface stuff should just use < ?php for compatibility?

Alright, thank you very much. So far I haven't found other methods to tell apache about handling files than the mimetypes/AddType way. Seems I have to go for sed...

Best,
Aaron

As luck would have it, I needed this information today. So thanks again.

Looking at one of my old posts I discovered when I started all of this that I was running WampServer.com's Wamp. Well Xampp keeps giving me issues on both windows and linux. So I installed wamp again. Love it. The settings are real easy to change. Seems a bit more secure than Xampp, which is left open on purpose for testing.

So in Wampserver left-click the task tray icon, choose the menu option PHP settings, then choose short open tag.

To access your server from another computer, rather than just localhost, click the icon, click Put Online.

Then make sure you set the mysql password using phpmyadmin.

That's all.
