SWX: SWF Data Format

Tom Beaver reported that his SWX PHP Start Page was broken when he installed SWX PHP 1.0 under Apache on OS X although it was working fine with the SWX MAMP Bundle. After some investigation, I realized that it was because I was using PHP short tags in Version 1.0. If short tags are turned off in the PHP configuration file, the SWX PHP Start Page will not display correctly.

You should only run into this problem if you downloaded SWX PHP on September 11th or 12th (GMT) and your PHP instance is configured to disallow short tags.

If this problem affects you, please download the latest release of SWX PHP (Version 1.01 or later) which has been updated to use long tags throughout the SWX PHP Start Page.

Althernatively, you can turn short_open_tag on in the PHP configuration file (php.ini). Instructions on how to do this are available in the PHP Manual.
