Search fields not displaying correctly in frontend

Hi

I’ve installed the store locator component and obtained a Google Maps API Key, for a localhost installation using Joomla 1.5 version 1.5.18 on XAMPP.

I’ve entered various addresses in the Location Manager, however when I view the page from the frontend the input boxes are showing the coding that’s generated behind them. I’ve attached a screenshot to illustrate the problem.

Any idea what is causing this to happen and how I can resolve it. I’ve tried it with and without Moo Tools selected in the parameters.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

I located a php.ini file within the xampp server:
xampp/php/php.ini where I found this code:

; short_open_tag
; Default Value: On
; Development Value: Off
; Production Value: Off

I tried short_open_tag=1, but this didn't have any effect. Do you need to change any of the other values, development or production?

I place the other code php_flag short_open_tag on in the htaccess file and the search area is now working correctly.
