#48595 [Bgs]: Namespace is the first statement, but error is still thrown

ID: 48595 User updated by: spektom at gmail dot com Reported By: spektom at gmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.3.0RC3 New Comment: I understand that intermediate non-PHP sections are implemented using 'echo' in PHP grammar, but is this really helpful to count them as PHP script when we are talking about namespace scoping?

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php No, your <html> string is the first statement. It's basically "echo '<html>';" to PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-18 13:38:17] spektom at gmail dot com Description: ------------ See the reproduce code...
