title: CodeIgniter Views not parsing PHP
body: <p>I have CodeIgniter installed and running correctly, more or less. My application is loading the controller and displaying the view.</p>
  
  <p>However, if using short tags <code>&lt;?=base_url()?&gt;</code> as I used to, this version does not parse them as PHP.</p>
  
  <p>Should I include full tags <code>&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;</code> execution stops immediately at the first PHP tag.</p>
  
  <p>PHP must be being parsed at some point, because when using short tags the controllers still load properly but produce HTML with short tags not parsed. What could be the issue?</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;div id="container"&gt;
      &lt;div id="content"&gt;
          &lt;img src="&lt;?=base_url() . 'assets/images/cool_critter_logo_trans.png'?&gt;" 
              alt="Cool Critters Logo" id="logo_image" /&gt;
          &lt;h1&gt;Welcome to Cool Critters!&lt;/h1&gt;

  <p>This worked on a previous iteration on another server, and I broke something in the move.</p>
