<?php
phpinfo();
?>

and see if it works. Perhaps you have mixed php versions installed, or the php.ini file is not in the place you think it should be, or you are loading fop2.11 phonebook and you still do not have short tags enabled.

If you see the php info page with the above script, check the location of the php.ini file and the status of short_open_tag

This is what i get after click on Phonebook link:

$page_title>\n"; } else { echo " \n"; } ?>
"yes") { die("no way"); } if($context=="") { $addcontext=""; } else { $addcontext="${context}_"; } // Sanitize Input $addcontext = ereg_replace("\.[\.]+", "", $addcontext); $addcontext = ereg_replace("^[\/]+", "", $addcontext); $addcontext = ereg_replace("^[A-Za-z][:\|][\/]?", "", $addcontext); $extension = ereg_replace("'", "", $extension ); $extension = ereg_replace("\"", "", $extension ); $extension = ereg_replace(";", "", $extension ); $grid = new dbgrid($db); $grid->set_table('visual_phonebook'); //$grid->set_caption(trans('Manage Phonebook')); $grid->salt("dldli3ks"); $grid->hide_field('id'); $grid->set_per_page(5); $grid->set_condition("context='$context' AND (owner='$extension' OR (owner<>'$extension' AND private='no'))"); $grid->set_default_values("context",$context); $grid->set_default_values("owner",$extension); $grid->set_input_type("context","hidden"); $grid->set_input_type("owner","hidden"); $grid->no_edit_field("context"); $grid->no_edit_field("owner"); $grid->hide_field('context'); $grid->hide_field('owner'); $grid->edit_field_condition("private",'owner','=',$extension); $fieldname = Array(); $fieldname[]=trans('First Name'); $fieldname[]=trans('Last Name'); $fieldname[]=trans('Company'); $fieldname[]=trans('Phone 1'); $fieldname[]=trans('Phone 2'); $fieldname[]=trans('Private'); $fieldname[]=trans('Picture'); //$grid->set_fields ( "id,firstname,lastname,company,phone1,phone2,owner,private,picture"); $grid->set_display_name( array('firstname','lastname','company','phone1','phone2','private','picture'), $fieldname); $grid->allow_view(true); $grid->allow_edit(true); $grid->allow_delete(true); $grid->allow_add(true); $grid->allow_export(true); $grid->allow_import(true); $grid->allow_search(true); $grid->set_search_fields(array('firstname','lastname','company','phone1','phone2')); $grid->set_input_type('picture','img'); //$grid->set_input_type('owner','select',array($extension,'')); $grid->force_import_field("context",$context); $grid->force_import_field("owner",$extension); $grid->add_display_filter('picture','display_image'); $grid->add_display_filter('phone1','clickdial'); $grid->add_display_filter('phone2','clickdial'); //$grid->add_display_filter('owner','display_private'); //$grid->add_edit_filter('owner','display_private'); $grid->set_user_directory('./uploads/'.$addcontext); //$grid->add_validation_type('email','email'); $grid->show_grid(); function display_image($img) { global $addcontext; if(is_file("./uploads/${addcontext}$img")) { return ""; } else { return "n/a"; } } function display_private($owner) { if($owner=="") { return trans('no'); } else { return trans('yes'); } } function clickdial($number) { return "$number"; } ?>

I do not think you have the same problem. FOP 2.20 does not use short tags anymore. So please explain a little bit better what do you see and what happens. If you see php code when loading the phonebook, then it is probably your web server does not have php support enabled.
