I was using the following to grab a previously posted email address.
My host recently updated PHP to 5.3.13 and it no longer works, just renders as code.
Thought I would ask here before I go back to the host.
Cheers.

<?=$this->EE->input->post('email')?>

It’s possible the host changed something with the handling of short_open_tag which allows you to use that syntax.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.short-open-tag

I’m not sure this is enabled by default. Check the setting with your host. Personally, I would stay away from doing this for this very reason unless I have more control over my hosting environment.

Yep short tag was no longer supported.
Changed to the following and all is sweet.
Cheers.

```
<?php echo $this->EE->input->post('email'); ?>
