Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING with index.php?

Question

It works perfectly in local host but when I upload it intothe server it has the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in D:\Hosting\4923367\html\beta\index.php on line 4

index.php:

<?php
include_once 'localization.php';
?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
      "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

unless you are serving this with an application/xhtml+xml you don't need the prolog. And if you do, you should be aware of w3.org/MarkUp/2004/xhtml-faq#ie — Gordon

<?xml is being mistaken for PHP short-tag, try echoing it ( although I don't see a need for it )

The problem appears to be conflicting settings in the php.ini files on your respective servers. Try editing the php.ini file on your server and set

short_open_tag = 0

More information about the directives available in your php.ini file can be found here: http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php

This is the real solution, not encoding <?xml

vinsa Over a year ago

or you could write: echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>';

Replace this

<?php
include_once 'localization.php';
?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

with this:

<?php
include_once 'localization.php';
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';
?>

If you have access only to nginx site configuration, just add following string to your site config file (in section for php):

fastcgi_param PHP_ADMIN_VALUE short_open_tag=0;

And restart nginx.
