Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48337&edit=1 ID: 48337 User updated by: brad at njoe dot com Reported by: brad at njoe dot com Summary: Parse error messages getting less descriptive -Status: Feedback +Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: win32 only PHP Version: 5.2.9 New Comment: The URL http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ resulted in a page listing no binaries/sources available for download. Clicked the Download link at the top (taking me to /download/) and I downloaded "VC6 x86 Thread Safe (2010-Feb-24 15:33:12)" and "VC6 x86 Non Thread Safe (2010-Feb-24 15:38:53)". Both versions now correctly produced the expected result noted above. Thanks for looking into this!

I'm also not 100% sure if it's just with the Windows builds (unless you've tried it on PHP 5.2.9 on a 'nix box - I just don't have access to one at the moment). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-19 21:43:55] jani@php.net Must be something with the windows build. Propably some bison version issue or something like that. Do you build PHP yourself? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
