#44767 [NEW]: Incorrect handling of a closing # to # based comments
From: ikickdogsforfun at hotmail dot com
Operating system: Gentoo Linux
PHP version: 5.2.6RC5
PHP Bug Type: *General Issues
Bug description: Incorrect handling of a closing # to # based comments
Description:
------------
A # comment can be closed by a second # causing PHP to act rather oddly.
Any errors that occur on the same line but after the closing # are reported
as an error on the next line, however if there are no errors anything after
the second # is ignored and not processed as if it was a comment. I think
based on this, there needs to be some concistency about what happens when a
second # is encountered. Are these intended to be embedded comments which
can be be closed? Or should everything being ignored after the first #
untill a new line character is encountered?
Reproduce code:
---------------
This produces 2 errors, one on line 2, one on line 3, though they are both
about line 3:
<?
echo \"some ".# This is an imbedded comment#"text";
?>
This only echos out 'some':
<?
echo "some ".# This is an imbedded comment#"hi";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
I would expect to see 'some text' echoed out, as I was under the
impression these kinds of comments were imbedded.
Actual result:
--------------
