Short_open_tag = on does not work, what can affect?

Question

PHP

I'm trying to enable a shorthand php entry like <?=$someVar?>
In the /etc/php5/fpm directory, I edit the short_open_tag directive of the php.ini file, set the value to On.
But the abbreviated tags did not work and do not work, tell me where to dig.

Answer 1

See where the actual php.ini is
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Answer 2

1. restart php-fpm
2. make sure that PHP is processed using this technology
3. an entry like <?=$someVar?> works fine even with short_open_tag = off

Answer 3

<?php echo ini_get('short_open_tag') ?> what does it say? Maybe the value is overwritten somewhere? In php-fpm pools for example.

Answer 4

For some reason, /etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart does not restart php5-fpm on Ubuntu 14, but service php5-fpm restart works fine (on other systems and with other programs everything is fine). Those. the problem could be that php5-fpm just didn't restart.
