Re: [PLUG] Help with Apache PHP

[Doug Crompton <doug@crompton.com>]

Problem Solved....

Ironically it turns out to be just the thing you were talking about, not
putting the excplicit 'php' in the block. Once I did that it worked fine.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

worked fine.

While

<?
phpinfo();
?>

did not

So I obviously do not have the shortcut method defined and from what I am
hearing in this thread it might be good to not use the short method
anyhow.

Thanks for all your help.

Doug
