What's the value of short_open_tag? If disabled, does the host's setup
allow you to set its value?
If you read the other posts you will see the answers ;)
The ISP hosting these sites has not got back to me yet, but it would seem that
when they updated from 5.3.9 to 5.3.10 they also switched off short_open_tag
when previously it had been on. It's a little annoying that I've had to rework
these sites when I WILL put it back again once I can move them to a site where
it does not matter. I prefer the shorthand as the longhand makes the code a lot
more difficult to read.

This is the sort of insidious little change that gets annoying when people don't
understand the consequences of changing it. I wonder how many more people have
been affected just on this ISP ...
