How to enable php short tags with .htaccess or with php.ini

Sometimes when we don't have access to modify configurations on server like in php.ini file and we still need to enable short tags for our php code. We can do it by .htaccess file. If you have not created any .htaccess file yet, create one in root directory of your website and add

php_value short_open_tag 1

That's it for .htaccess file.

Now if you want to enable that using php.ini and if you can...

just set

short_open_tag=On 

in php.ini at server and you are done.. :D

Enjoy!!
