I've noticed a strange little issue with ditto (2.0.2 - affects earlier versions to, I think) when 'short_open_tag = Off' in your php.ini file. It outputs this:

Code:

<?
// Use the following syntax $param = 'value';
?>

at the beginning of every section of Ditto output. This doesn't actually seem to affect anything, as the code is ignored by browsers, but it's a bit... untidy, I guess and was bugging me.

So, I tracked this down to the \snippets\ditto\configs\default.config.php file (which I hadn't altered since installing Ditto 2.02). The file looked like this:

Code:

<?
// Use the following syntax $param = 'value';
?>

If I changed the file to this (i.e. using the long form php tags <?php instead of the short ones <?:

Code:

<?php

// Use the following syntax $param = 'value';

?>

the mysterious output went away. Just thought I'd let you know.

Cheers,
Dunc
