[In the config file](http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php) enable short tags. — Orangepill, Aug 04 '15 at 06:38

Set

short_open_tag = on

in php.ini and restart your Apache server.

If you don't have access to the php.ini you can try to enable them trough the .htaccess file but it's possible the hosting company disabled this if you are on shared hosting:

php_value short_open_tag 1

Configure php to use short tags

http://php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php

PHP also allows for short open tag <? (which is discouraged since it is only available if enabled using the short_open_tag php.ini configuration file directive, or if PHP was configured with the --enable-short-tags option).
