php not working in the view!!!

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello,

I have just moved my working codeigniter site to a new xampp installation on new computer and now when the view loads the php inside the view doesn't work!! e.g. the addresses in my links have the code <?=base_url()?> in them instead of the base address of the site!!!

Can anyone explain this strange behavior???

Thanks!
