[vox-tech] PHP Include File Problem

Mon, 9 Dec 2002 15:10:26 -0800

Two options:
One, include your xml declaration as a quoted string:
echo '<?xml version="1.0"?>';

Or, disable php's short_open_tags ( <? ?> vs. <?php ?> )
Try sticking this in a .htaccess:
php_flag short_open_tag off

You might also be able to toggle that flag on a page by page basis with
something like: <?php ini_set('short_open_tag','off'); ?>
