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

ID: 44655 User updated by: william at ash dot id dot au Reported By: william at ash dot id dot au Status: Open Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Windows XP SPII PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: I also have PEAR installed Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-07 01:38:23] william at ash dot id dot au Looks like I left the ' off my original script - I was cutting and pasting. In the Reproduce Code: section echo '<p>This also is PHP</p>; should have a ' between </p> and ; like echo '<p>This also is PHP</p>'; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-07 00:31:28] william at ash dot id dot au 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44655&edit=1
