He he, I could maybe use your help as I am having to do a few asp/MSSQL
pages and my experience is php/MySQL.
Anyway, your problem is that <? is what is called a "short open tag" and in
the more recent releases of php their use is disabled by default.
So instead of <?=$CFG_db_user?> use <?php echo $CFG_db_user;?>
