Hi everyone.
I havent dont PHP much and my friend ask me to setup some PHP website
locally using wamp server.
I am really bad at this so hope someone can help me out.
the website i got have tags like <? echo 'test' ?> however it seems
like my version of PHP 5.3.3 is not working well with this syntax. Is
there a way to config wamp server to accept this?!
I do not want to modify so many pages just to fix this.
Thanks guys!

You need to set short_open_tags on.
But you really do not want to do this. It will conflict with xml, and
the PHP developers strongly recommend against using it. You're almost
assuredly going to have to change this sooner or later; now is the time
to do it instead of when the site breaks.

PHP has up to four different tags to escape escape HTML from PHP:
http://es.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phpmode.php
The one your app is using is called "short open tag" and it's a
configurable setting:
http://es.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.short-open-tag
If PHP runs as Apache module, you can simply create or edit an
".htaccess" file in the document root add enable it with this Apache
directive:
php_flag short_open_tag on
> I do not want to modify so many pages just to fix this.
There's no need to edit the code and I wouldn't recommend it. Rewriting
some legacy third-party code to replace short open tags can be a
daunting task even for experienced PHP programmers. And the feature is
not actually deprecated:
«Using short tags should be avoided when developing applications or
libraries that are meant for redistribution, or deployment on PHP
servers which are not under your control, because short tags may not be
supported on the target server. For portable, redistributable code, be
sure not to use short tags.»

Depends on how and where the short open tags are used. Most of it should
be simple find & replace.

But IMHO it should be considered as that. There were many discussions
about whether to already drop it in PHP 6 or not.
