#44655 [NEW]: > closes PHP script rather than ?>

From: william at ash dot id dot au Operating system: Windows XP SPII PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: > closes PHP script rather than ?> Description: ------------ I have two scripts that work fine on my website hosted by outside server. I installed to PHP on home computer for testing future scripts. The two scripts I do have use a > from a html tag within the PHP script to close the PHP script. There is no ? before the > so it should not do this. for some reason the PHP is terminating with the first > it comes across instead of needing a ?> - please help. Modules that I installed with PHP 5.2.5 for Windows running Apache 2.2.8 are: cvsclient, dio, docblock, event, EXIF, FDF, Fileinfo, GD2, Gettext, htscanner, pecl_http, id3, IMAP, Java, mailparse, Mimetype, MySQLi, ntuser, oggvorbis, OpenSSL, Operator, parsekit, PDFlib, phar, PHPDoc, POP3, Printer, sdo, Shared Memory, SMTP, SOAP, Sockets, Standard PHP, SQLite, ssh2, Tidy, threads, timezonedb, win32ps, win32schedule, win32service, win32std, zip and zlib_filter. This problem occured before making any changes to my php.ini file - I have tried making changes to it to correct it but nothing I have done has made a difference. I haven't done a backtrace yet as I am hoping that this isn't the first issue and I couldn't locate the bug relating to this and there is a simple answer - if a backtrace is needed please let me know. Reproduce code: --------------- Script that does cause the problem. <?php echo '<p>This is PHP</p>'; echo '<p>This also is PHP</p>; ?> Expected result: ---------------- This should output "This is PHP" and "This also is PHP" to the screen Fix implemented to make it work (below) - which won't help on complicated scripts so I would appreciate a fix! <?php echo '<p>This is PHP</p> <?php echo '<p>This also is PHP</p> Actual result: -------------- but it outputs This is PHP '; echo ' This also is PHP '; ?> the > at the </p> on the first <p>...</p> html tag is closing the PHP script - it is identical problem on my other script - it's not actually the first > as there is one in the opening <p> tag - it's the one (>) after a closing </p> tag so I expect that the / (forward slash) might have something to do with it too! -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44655&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44655&r=mysqlcfg
