Bug #17895: Strange bug about comments

From: php@ak-dev.com Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Strange bug about comments I think I have found a strange bug, but I am not sure it is one! I explain my problem: //?> #?> If you insert one of those two previous lines, the parse will crash! In my mind, # or // are 'one line comments' and in this way, it has to be impossible to execute code on the same line after those comment tags, but here it is possible! So it is very dangerous to put //?> or #? in your source code! In some cases, it does a crash and it results a parse error, and in others cases it displays source code of the file!! In my mind, it is not normal... -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17895&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17895&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17895&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17895&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17895&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17895&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17895&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17895&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17895&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17895&r=globals
