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?
You mean someone actually READS these???
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!

Not complaining, just sharing.
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?
No, I started with one, the index file. It didn't work so I didn't
bother to go any farther.
