Bug Description

Lamp server test testModPhp is failing with today's saucy server images (20130719) in the post installation tests. This appears to occur on both amd64 and i386 images and has not been seen before.

The following is the failure being reported,
F
    ======================================================================
    FAIL: testModPhp (__main__.LampTest)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "test.py", line 46, in testModPhp
        self.assertEquals('Hello World!', output)
    AssertionError: 'Hello World!' != '<? $world="Hello World!"; echo $world; ?>'

Steps to reproduce:
1. Provision a LAMP saucy server with today's image
2. Run the following test,
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server-dev/ubuntu-test-cases/server-tests-raring/view/head:/testsuites/lamp/test_mod_php/test.py

and
https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/saucy-server-i386-smoke-lamp/73/?

This was triggered by php5 5.5 hitting Saucy.

I think the problem is with the test. This line:

        php_fh.write("<? $world=\"Hello World!\"; echo $world; ?>")

should be:

        php_fh.write("<?php $world=\"Hello World!\"; echo $world; ?>")

I'm not sure when or why the previous behaviour is no longer supported, but the current PHP documentation uses "<?php". Is this some kind of backwards incompatible change in the documentation, and if so does this need to be in our release notes?

Some kind of backwards incompatible change in the default configuration, I mean.

They're called "short tags".

http://php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php says they're off by default.

Looks like the default for /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini's short_open_tag setting changed from On to Off in the Debian packaging. I'm not sure whether this was done by Debian or by upstream directly.

I've fixed this in revision 91 by fixing the test.
