<p>I am doing some JavaScript work on a Wordpress based legacy side. I am trying to get the page to run on my dev machine (OS X Lion), but am encountering a problem with code in the template not being interpreted. The template contains some code tags that look like <code>&lt;? echo($subpage_title); ?&gt;</code>. Those don't get interpreted. If I replace that with <code>&lt;?php echo($subpage_title); ?&gt;</code>, it gets interpreted correctly. I don't really want to replace that everywhere and it obviously works on the production server. Is there any server setting I have to change for this to work?</p>

<p>This is probably a silly question, but I have practically no PHP experience and Google is not really helpful when looking for symbols.</p>

<p>Thank you very much for any help!</p>
