How to enable PHP short tags

Question

I have a web application on a Linux server which starts with  lt    I needed to copy this application to a windows environment and everything is working fine except that an SQL statement is being rendered differently  I don t know if this has to do with the script beginning with  lt  php instead of  lt   because I don t know from where to enable the  lt   from the PHP ini so I changed it to  lt  php  I know that these 2 statements are supposed to mean the same but I need to test it with  lt   in order to ensure that the application is exactly the same  This way I can eliminate another possibility   Thanks

I can see all answers above are partially correct only  In reality all 21st Century PHP apps will have FastCGI Process Manager php-fpm  so once you have added php-info   into your test php script and checked the correct path for php ini  Go to php ini and set short open tag   On   IMPORTANT  then you must restart your php-fpm process so this can work   sudo service php-fpm restart   and then finally restart your nginx http server  sudo service nginx restart
