From: tikitiki at mybboard dot com Operating system: Not Applicable PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: highlight_string function removes slashes in some cases Description: ------------ The slashes (\) gets removed in some instances with invalid php code. In the below reproduce code, the \ gets removed. The PHP Version isn't applicable, but I had to put 5.2.0 because if I set it to 'Irrelevant' I would get this error 'This category requires you to pick a PHP version.' I understand that this is far fetched, but it should ATLEAST show up. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $string = '<?php $a = 2; \ $c = 5; ?>'; echo highlight_string($str, true); ?> Expected result: ---------------- <?php $a = 2; \ $c = 5; ?> Actual result: -------------- <?php $a = 2; $c = 5; ?> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39783&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39783&r=mysqlcfg
