<?
function outError($text){
		print "<center><b><font  color = red>$text</font></b><br><br></center>";
}

<option value="0"   <?= ($installtype == "0") ? "selected" : ""; ?> >Install with CPanel Info (can create  MySQL  DB  automatically)</option>

I have a script with such unusual tags and the script won't work. I cannot replace them since they are a thousands in number. And search and replace also didn't work.

thank you.

Actually it should be as follows:

<option value="0"   <?php echo ($installtype == "0" || $installtype == 0) ? "selected" : ""; ?> >Install with CPanel Info (can create  MySQL  DB  automatically)</option>

Hi gouthamvel and welcome to DaniWeb :)

I think we may need a bit more information to help you on this one. Can you please post the code for the select tag that this option tag is a part of? What do you mean by the script won't work? Does the page load? Is it just not displaying the options in the select? Are there any error messages? Is it the function that doesn't work as you would like and if so does anything happen when you call it?

I have attached one of the file. I am confused with <?php and <?. I got a parse error when <? was used and when I replaced it with <?php the error got away. I use php 5.x, apache 2.2

install.php (18.94 KB)

The attachment preview is chopped off after the first 10 KB. Please download the entire file.

I think these lines

<option value="0"   <?php  ($installtype == "0") ? "selected" : ""; ?> >Install with CPanel Info (can create  MySQL  DB  automatically)</option>

should be

<option value="0"   selected=<?php  ($installtype == "0") ? "selected" : ""; ?> >Install with CPanel Info (can create  MySQL  DB  automatically)</option>

Also, you should always use <?php in favour of the shorthand tags. Some servers do not support the shorthand tags, so for maximum compatibility use the longer version (it's only 3 more characters and the benefit is certainly worth it).
