 * Just installed this plugin on my blog. The form seems to be broken.
 * List of file extensions shows as “<?=sanitize_text_field(get_option(‘unsafe_mime_settings_list’));?
   >” while the dropdown box has no options in it and the tickbox has a > next to
   it.

 * Hi [@dj_judas21](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dj_judas21/)
 * Sorry for the delay. I didn’t get sent a notification email at the time of your
   post, so I only saw this bay chance today.
 * I’ve had a look through the codebase, and tested on a new installation, and was
   unable to replicate the issue.
 * However, the behaviour you’re describing seems consistent with having short-tags
   disabled in your `php.ini` while using php < 5.4. Short tags are always enabled
   in php5.4 and later, and I suggest upgrading if you can.
 * Let me know if your PHP version is >= 5.4, and if so I’ll have to dig deeper 
   for a fix

 * Thanks for your response, don’t worry about the delay 🙂
 * I think your hunch about php version is correct – I was experiencing problems
   on a CentOS 6 server with php 5.3. Since I filed this issue the server has been
   migrated to CentOS 7 with php 5.4. Seems to work now!
 * Thanks for checking 🙂
 * Cheers,
    Jonathan
