Was just editing a site I’m working on to include the subscription form in the footer.php
rather than just the homepage. I made the changes on the local server then moved it to my live environment (dev sub-folder). I didn’t see any errors on my localhost, but on the dev site it is showing the following error:
PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant php – assumed ‘php’ in /home/website-name/public_html/uk-en/dev/wp-content/themes/theme-name/footer.php on line 1
The only thing on line 1 is the opening php tag, see code below from the footer.php
file
<?php?> </div><!-- #main --> <footer id="colophon" class="site-footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="subscribe-form"> <p>SIGN UP TO OUR EMAIL NEWSLETTER FOR NEWS, OFFERS & EXCITING COMPETITIONS.<p> <div class="contact-7-subscribe"> <?php echo do_shortcode( '[contact-form-7 id="4563" title="Newsletter"]' ); ?> </div> </div> <div class="site-info"> <div class="socialmedia"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/page-name/" target="_blank" class="facebook"></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/page-name?lang=en" target="_blank" class="twitter"></a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/page-name/" target="_blank" class="youtube"></a> </div> <div class="payment_cards"> <img src="<?=site_url();?>/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/payment_cards.png" alt="payments cards"/> </div> <?php /* Widgetized sidebar */ if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('footerwidget') ) : ?><?php endif; ?> </div><!-- .site-info --> </footer><!-- #colophon --> </div><!-- #page --> <?php wp_footer(); ?> <?php /* if(get_the_ID() == 5) { ?> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/signup- forms/popup/embed.js" data-dojo-config="usePlainJson: true, isDebug: false"> </script><script type="text/javascript">require(["mojo/signup- forms/Loader"], function(L) { L.start({"baseUrl":"mc.us10.list- manage.com","uuid":"37710aefba71598269bda7def","lid":"4385b1c355"}) }) </script> <?php } */ ?> <!--Start of Zopim Live Chat Script--> <script type="text/javascript"> window.$zopim||(function(d,s){var z=$zopim=function(c){z._.push(c)},$=z.s= d.createElement(s),e=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];z.set=function(o){z.set. _.push(o)};z._=[];z.set._=[];$.async=!0;$.setAttribute("charset","utf-8"); $.src="//v2.zopim.com/?34qd49wmFaK3NsxoUst4PCSk4gaXUQVe";z.t=+new Date;$. type="text/javascript";e.parentNode.insertBefore($,e)})(document,"script"); </script> <!--End of Zopim Live Chat Script--> <?php /*?><script type="text/javascript" src="//s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/signup- forms/popup/embed.js" data-dojo-config="usePlainJson: true, isDebug: false"> </script><script type="text/javascript">require(["mojo/signup- forms/Loader"], function(L) { L.start({"baseUrl":"mc.us10.list- manage.com","uuid":"37710aefba71598269bda7def","lid":"4385b1c355"}) }) </script><?php */?> </body> </html>
I could turn off notice display however I would like to get the right solution rather than a cover up

Answer
Basic syntax of php opening tag is <?php[whitespace]
not just <?php
, see here http://php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php#118827.
So the right syntax would be adding a white space in between php opening and closing tag <?php ?>
