<? vs <?php - bizzare problem

Hi. I am sortof new to php and I am working on a site that is running
on linux server on my windows machine running Apache, and I have the
following problem: the code that is not prefixed with <?php, and is
only prefixed with <?, is not interpreted as php code.

E.g. <? blah ?> file is sent to browser in plain text; also, spaghetti
code in includes is not handled properly
e.g. <?php echo($blah)?> is handled but <?= $blah?> is sent to browser
as is, ll in the same file.
I have AddType specified in httpd.conf.


How do I fix this? Sorry if it's a common problem it's pretty hard to
google it.
