Jeff S Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'm installing the latest PrestaShop, but it says"Set short_open_tag to off in php.ini" What does that mean, the value should be default so can I get that for my site on Tommy?https://thinkgenius.heliohost.org or how will this work, Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Which version of php are you using? Standard php tags are <?php ?> Short php tags are <? ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Tommy is giving me PHP Version 5.6.32I display info at http://thinkgenius.heliohost.org/phpinfo.php Thanks I don't know why prestashop is warning me to turn that off then, sounds like it could still work enabled. Like where could I read why prestashop would need that turned off? *EDIT Now I have found a reason Heliohost should not be enabling it by default. If app outputs "<?XML" then what would it do? Assume that it needs to interpret the contents as PHP which of course would be invalid.see https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/151661/is-it-bad-practice-to-use-tag-in-php Edited January 7, 2018 by Jeff S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Oh you're right, it was turned on. I would have assumed it would be off by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) I still can't figure out, how can I get the setting changed? I am helping someone else who recently started on Tommy and needs it changed too. *EDIT I started thinking maybe you meant to imply that you changed it for me. So I looked an my phpinfo again and sure enough it is off now. So would it also need changed for the other account I'll be working on?

wolstech Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Krydos already turned it off. The phpinfo for 5.6 is showing it as off now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 So would it also need changed for the other account I'll be working on?No, it's off for everyone on Tommy using php 5.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
