Disable PHP short tags

I need to disable "short tags" in PHP, as I'm getting this king of error: https://www.electrictoolbox.com/php-...ache-htaccess/ Briefly, I want to have inline content in PHP with:

Code:

---

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

---

but with short tags enabled, this line is interpreted as PHP, and gives an error. I tried disabling it in .htaccess, as suggested by the link above, but it didn't work.

You can't disable PHP short tags on AlterVista. You'll need to wrap the XML declaration inside an echo.
