Experts? We is experts!

It may be the case that your PHP is configured to not support short PHP tags -- the <? ones. The standard PHP tag is <?php, however, many people will still add <? to their code thinking that is the standard.

Try the following 2 lines of code and see what occurs:

php Code:

<?php echo 'Does this get displayed as PHP or HTML?'; ?>
<? echo 'Does this get displayed as PHP or HTML?'; ?>
