Bug #18151: Strip comments (php -w) strips #!/usr/bin/php directives!

From: polone@townnews.com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: Strip comments (php -w) strips #!/usr/bin/php directives! The php -w option also strips comments outside of the PHP tags. Thus, a program like: #!/usr/bin/php -q <?php // Bye-Bye comment print "hello world\n"; ?> Would end up like: <?php print "hello world\n"; ?> But, this is incorrect. It should be: #!/usr/bin/php -q <?php print "hello world\n"; ?> It appears this only happens if the first line in the file is formatted like a PHP comment. Thus, # This is not a PHP comment!!!! <?php print "hello world\n"; ?> Also strips the "# This is not a PHP comment!!!!".
