PHP - Interpret

Question

On ours servers are some old scripts which still uses <? instead of <?php and when I download it to my machine at localhost it's not being interpreted, instead it just echoes the code.

Can someone give me a link to a tutorial or tell me how to achive this?

You need to enable the Short tags in your php.ini file like

short_open_tag = On

And restart your apache server.Considering that you have PHP Version >= 4.0.1.

Set

short_open_tag=On

in php.ini

And restart then your Apache server. The scripts should work then.
