So easy, right? Yes, of course. However I forgot about it. That’s why RSS feeds to two of my blogs (this one and blog.karolzielinski.com) didn’t work for a while. Ehhh… fixed. Now, I will describe how to allow this form.

So… I moved from php on apache + nginx to php-fpm + nginx and I forgot about short form of PHP’s open tag. I did some reasearch and… what I had to do is:

change value of variable short_open_tag to On.

Change short_open_tag in php.ini

Find a line with “short_open_tag = Off” and change it to “short_open_tag = On” (or add this line if you don’t have it).

Change short_open_tag in php-fpm

Open php-fpm.conf (it’s propably under /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf) and add:

<value name="short_open_tag">On</value>

under <value name=”php_defines” />

That’s all. Restart your apache or php-fpm.

By the way… more informations about this variable on php.net
