I have edited the php.ini file, but it is still not being enabled:
short_open_tag
Default Value: On
; Development Value: On
; Production Value: On
says it is off in the phpinfo file.
I am using php 5.3
cheers.
This is how you fix it:
If you go to PHP Manager, then go under "manage all settings" which is under "PHP settings", you can enable it via a UI. Frustrating!
For ISS you need to go to "PHP Manager" Then look for "Manage all settings"
Then search for short_open_tag Double click on it and give value On
Follow the gif file
Restart the ISS and it will work.
