Checkbox Array Quit Working

I’ve been using the below code without issue with ACF Pro 5. I moved my site from one VPS to another, and now that code quits working. When it’s in place, every ACF field after it doesn’t show on the page. If I remove it, everything works.

$values = get_field('badges');

if(in_array("member", $values )){
?>
<div class="team-badge">test</div>
<?
}

Nothing has changed in the code. If I take the same site and put it on a normal shared host the code works fine.

Anyone have an idea? Maybe I’m missing a PHP library?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Are you still having a problem with this? I would suggest looking at any difference in php configuration. Put a php file on both sites with

<?php 
    phpinfo();
?>

Make sure everything is configured the same.

Here’s the answer to this: In my Debian 8.1 LAMP install, there was a setting turned off in the php.ini file. I’ve never run into that before installing LAMP on Debian.

The setting: short_open_tag

That needs to be on. Once I changed and restarted Apache, all was right with the world.

Actually, when I saw your example code was using short open tags, that was one of the settings I thought could be different, but thought it would be a good idea for you to check them all. Glad you got it worked out.
