installed php 4.1.2, now i have slight problems

[97cobracpe]

I'm teaching myself how to build a linux server so that I can run my vbulletin (which is on a shared plan currently) on a dedicated server sometime in the near future.

I installed Linux 7.2 the default apache, php, and mysql installs.
Apache 1.3.x (don't remember exactly)
PHP 4.0.5
MySQL 3.23.41

I tested everything by running the phpinfo() command. Everything looked good

I upgraded (using rpms) to:
MySQL 3.23.55 (from mysql.com)
Apache 1.3.27 (from redhat)
PHP 4.1.2 (from redhat)

When I finnished, the phpinfo.php page I made no longer worked. After some thinking turns out that before, i could use <?....?> and <?php....?> tags.

Now I can only use <?php....?> tags.

How can I revive the ability to use the <?...?> tags again? I do know that the version of photopost I have uses these tags, while vb doesn't. So photopost won't work with the current setup. Should I just revert back to 4.0.5 or is there a config file I can change?

Thanks for any help that is provided.

It's a setting in your php.ini

Thanks. Made the change in the php.ini and it works like a charm now.
