I'm not sure if this will work on TCH's servers but usually you can put some PHP configuration options in .htaccess .<br />For what you want to do, you need to have a .htaccess file in the directory where your .php files live, with (at least) the following content:<br /><br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1--><IfModule mod_php4.c><br />  php_value short_open_tag      0<br /></IfModule><!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />For more information on this, go here:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php" target="_blank">http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php</a><!--content-->
I did a quit search to add something valuable... but alas, Borfast has given the best answer I could find. Nothing for me to add here.<br /><br />Please let us know if this solved the issue for you.<!--content-->
