By default short tags are off. Try replacing "<? ... ?>" with the long tag
"<?php ... ?>". If you want short tags enabled, edit the sample php.ini
file, then copy it to c:\winnt (c:\windows ?? NFI - I don't "do" Windows
usually) and restart IIS. The install documentation is pretty thorough
IIRC (been a while since I did a PHP+IIS install).
