<p>I am using</p>

Apache Friends XAMPP (Basis Package) version 1.7.3

<ul>
<li>Apache 2.2.14 (IPV6 enabled)</li>
<li>MySQL 5.1.41 (Community Server) with PBXT engine 1.0.09-rc</li>
<li>PHP 5.3.1 (PEAR, Mail_Mime, MDB2, Zend)</li>
</ul>

<p>and i am running php files, that i code with <code>&lt;? ?&gt;</code> tags not <code>&lt;?php ?&gt;</code>.
but the apache server won't execute my code, but if i try with <code>&lt;?php ?&gt;</code> tags, the code works. Anyone know how to enable the server to execute php code with <code>&lt;? ?&gt;</code> tags ?</p>
