Bug #52042 [NEW]: Error creating MessageFormatter object with nested tags

From: Operating system: Ubuntu 9.10 PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: *Languages/Translation Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Error creating MessageFormatter object with nested tags Description: ------------ Calling msgfmt_create(...) or new MessageFormatter(...) with patterns having nested tags will return null. Apparently the same happens with empty patterns, but returning NULL from an object constructor is a SERIOUS bug. Test script: --------------- $f1 = new MessageFormatter('en_US', '{what is wrong {0} with this pattern ???}'); echo 'f1 is ', gettype($f1), PHP_EOL; $f2 = MessageFormatter::create('en_US', '{what is wrong {0} with this pattern ???}'); echo 'f2 is ', gettype($f2), PHP_EOL; $f3 = msgfmt_create('en_US', '{what is wrong {0} with this pattern ???}'); echo 'f3 is ', gettype($f3), PHP_EOL; Expected result: ---------------- f1 is object f2 is object f3 is object Actual result: -------------- f1 is NULL f2 is NULL f3 is NULL -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52042&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52042&r=mysqlcfg
