Why is WAMP?

[Iszak]

Yeah, well they can cause conflicts with XML e.g. "<?xml version="1.0"?>" so it is often best to have it off. Of course the work around is to simply get PHP to echo that, personally I just stick with <?php tags as <? seems to be depreciated. Anyhow glad I could help both of yous in some way or form.

That's interesting.. I used to have that problem, i couldn't use <?, not that i do anymore anyway, but i have no experience with the php.ini file.

+rep if i can for pointing it out

You should really have learnt about short tags, and how to control your PHP configuration.

PHP short tags are usually set to Off as a default.

I have never altered php.ini in my life because i used wamp for like a week and that was when i could barely code...

Also only the server admin can edit the configuration, and i have always been on shared hosting.

So, er yeh
