Web Browser shows nothing when I execute my php code

Question

I'm starting to learn php, but at the beginning I came across with an error which I don't know how to solve it. I have installed wampserver 2.4 in my windows 7. When I tried to execute a simple file containing only an echo, nothing appeared neither an error. What's the problem?

My code:

<?

echo "oi";

?>

maybe short tags is disabled. try full code <?php and ?> — shyammakwana.me

In php.ini file you have no permission to use short tag

change it

from short_open_tag = Off to short_open_tag = On

or use full tag

<?php //full php tag

echo "oi";

?>

The problem probably is that short open tag is not on. Change it in php.ini In the php.ini file you have to change is make sure that will be like that:

short_open_tag = On

Also, try to use <?php instead <?

Also you can do it by wamp server, click on the wamp icon, go to PHP-> PHP Extensions -> open short tags
