You need to specify the following in a .htaccess file:-

SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 5

This means that any php file ending in .php will be executed as PHP5 rather that PHP4.

This can be set up via Control Panel > Switch PHP Version.

If this file doesn’t exist, you can create it using a normal text editor. It should be created on a per-site basis and uploaded into the folder containing your script (or simply into the public_html folder if you want it to affect site-wide).

short_open_tag = 1
