#46012 [Com]: formfeeds are not considered whitespace

ID: 46012 Comment by: sebastian_rose at gmx dot de Reported By: sebastian_rose at gmx dot de Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Debian testing PHP Version: 5.2.6 New Comment: It seems the error is in Zend/zend_language_scanner.l ??? As the grammar is defined in there? I never used yacc or bison ... ./Zend/zend_language_scanner.l, line 901 and 902: WHITESPACE [ \n\r\t\f]+ TABS_AND_SPACES [ \t\f]* should be WHITESPACE [ \n\r\t\f]+ TABS_AND_SPACES [ \t\f]* ??? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-09-06 18:18:43] sebastian_rose at gmx dot de Description: ------------ Formfeeds in PHP scripts trigger a warning, i.e. are NOT considered whitespace a usual. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php /* == Add a formfeed for pageing big files in emacs == */ \f // replace \f with a form feed to test. ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expect to see nothing. All libraries and compilers consider formfeeds a whitespace. I thought about sending this as a bug report at first, but think it's enough to have it here again (after http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30125 - the same but for Php 4.3.8, September 2004!!!). I'd volunteer to change this if I someone points me to where to start. Actual result: -------------- <br /> <b>Warning</b>: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=12) state=1 in <b>/path/to/test.php</b> on line <b>4</b><br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46012&edit=1
