CakePHP Error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

Question

I am getting the syntax error commented code. Can some have idea, why this error comes

Error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' redmine/app/View/Welcome/index.ctp Line: 4

<h2><?php $this->Candy->html_title(__('Home'))  ?></h2>

<div class="splitcontentleft">
<!-- <%= textilizable Setting.welcome_text %> -->
<?php echo $this->Candy->textilizable($Settings->welcome_text) ?>
<?php if (!empty($news)): ?>
<div class="box">
<h3><?php echo __('Latest news')?></h3>
    <?php echo $this->element('news',array('news' => $news)) ?>
    <?php echo $this->Html->link(__('View all news'), array('controller' =>    
'news')) ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

Also it works fine in localhost , It seems this is a .htaccess file issue?

Thanks in advance...!!!

I believe you have missing echo in your title. Use it like this:

<h2><?php echo $this->Candy->html_title(__('Home')); ?></h2>

Ok can you take a backup of this file and temporarily delete that line and above <h2> line?

@NarendraSinghRajpoot The code inside the HTML comment is not valid PHP code.

you have asp_tags on in php.ini that's why you are getting this error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

you can disable asp_tags in your .htaccess like

php_flag asp_tags off

if you want to disable it for just a single file you can use this

<files file-with-asp-syntax.php>php_flag asp_tags off</files>

you can use this one also ini_set('asp_tags', 0)

If you have asp_tags enabled php script will be processed no matter the fact that is commented in html. Just strip it off <%= and %> and it should work.

If such script would echo anythin it would be commented by html but still processed by PHP.
