python if you view your source code for that page their is a rectangle with some written material in it , just above that box is an open tag looks like this <? remove those two symbols and put in your script remark (<script> and see what happens ie


<table class=leftmenu cellspacing=1 cellpadding=1 width=100% border=0>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th width="100%" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" height="25"> Scripts</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign=top width="100%" bgcolor=#efefef height="253"> <font size="-2">

that '<?' bit is what tells it that its php. that needs to be there

kink

thats telling every browser that what comes next is ?trust me i already tried it in my editor

Python

hmm well i changed it and nothing happened - i the checked my config file and it was a problem in there

Python

but now everything says 'e'


ive checked the language file and thats fine

kink

all i did to fix it in my editor was to delete the question mark and add <script> and it ran right you sure you closed that open comment?

Python

yes i sorted that problem fine. the script now works but it just says e instead of proper words. ill probably delete it and reinstall

kink

ive done some research it might work if you write it like this <? php and then include a ?> to close the statement

Python

ok i found out why the script doesnt work properly...

on my server the <? tag was being used for xml so it was changed to <?php

the script which controls the script page uses tags such as <? which were fine until the alteration was made.

the script cannot be fixed without quite a bit of work because the writer used the following format:

<? =$variable; ?>

which apparently is a shortcut - therefore it has to all be modified
