Any ideas when I get the wp-config.php outputted when I use WP-CLI?

I had seen similar outputs on the website prior to enabling PHP shorttags. I doubt it’s connected, but thought worth mentioning.

Here is a screenshot: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/ab9joka23lvm9ik/Screenshot%202018-02-05%2017.02.19.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/ab9joka23lvm9ik/Screenshot%202018-02-05%2017.02.19.png?dl=0)

It outputs after running a WPCLI command. The command is still executed after the output.

I also see this outputted at the end:

phar:///usr/local/bin/wp/php/WP\_CLI/Runner.php:1070  
0.1176 3070672 9. define() phar:///usr/local/bin/wp/php/WP\_CLI/Runner.php(1070) : eval()'d code:112

I get this at the beginning:

Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/opt/php/7.1.4/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20160303/php\_openssl.dll’ - /opt/php/7.1.4/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20160303/php\_openssl.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Advice appreciated.

I think this is because we are using shorttags in our code.

Eg. \<? and not \<?php

Although we have this set in the php for the site, perhaps the php that runs wp-cli is breaking with this. The question: how do we allow shorttags on the server to use wp-cli.

Thanks
