Most likely, it has nothing to do with PHP version, but rather with
your use of "<?" opening tag. Change it to "<?php" and see if it
solves the problem. If it does, it means your short_open_tag directive
is set to 0 and you must either change all "<?" tags to "<?php" tags or
set short_open_tag to 1.
