  echo "hai";
?>

I am not getting the output. But when I am using

<?php
  echo "hai";
?>

Got the result.If I am using the first one in Linux server I got the output.One of my large project like the first one in all php pages.I want to configure with wamp.SO if first coding needs to work what can I do?

Answer 1

My first guess is your php.ini isn't configured for this. The parameter short_open_tag is responsible for it.

Edit your php.ini, search the following parameter and activate it (or add it when its missing there):

short_open_tag = On

More details are in the php-manual .

Answer 2
