You're right. I went back through some e mails and found a note
from Dan about short tags in php.ini file. By default it's off in
php5.3 install. It needs to be on according to Dan. I switched it
on, restarted Apache and everything works as expected.
Is there any security issue with having shot tags set to on?

OMG! I'll have to make sure I'm /RIGHT /more often! :-)
FWIW: Short tags are not a real security issue unless you're in a
mixed-scripting environment, in which case short tags can result in
some odd (and sometimes extremely difficult to trace) problems --
especially with XML interoperability!
The elimination of short tags in PHP5.3 is actually a change (ok,
maybe a migration) in the language syntax.... However, according to
some documentation, elimination of short tags may be REQUIRED in the
next major revision (PHP6)... there does seem to be some push-back in
the PHP community (regarding the deprecation of even allowing short
tags - the community appears to strongly favor keeping at least the
option available, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it re-enabled as
an option...).
However, as we (as a computing community) continue to move toward a
platform-independent model, we're going to have to live better with
other languages (like xml), and thus/as a coding style/, short tags
need to be phased out as we maintain our PHP scripts (and templates).
(It should be as easy as a global replace in php-only files!)
Just my thoughts! Before you complain, remember how much you paid for
them!

Alex mentioned to simply change the tags which I did and they still
don't work with short tags off. I am sure it's something simple, but
with the tag changed and short tags off it doesn't work, switch them
on with no changes to the php code and it works.

This is strange - are you sure you have checked all files for <? tags?
