Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40832&edit=1 ID: 40832 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported by: josh dot helzer at gmail dot com Summary: Behavior of PI end in single-line comment -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Feature/Change Request -Package: Feature/Change Request +Package: *General Issues Operating System: Linux 2.4.26-gentoo-r7 PHP Version: 5.2.1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The behavior is needed to allow using single line comments while embedding PHP in HTML like in <h1><?php echio $title; // comment ?></h1> Your compromise won't work as it break valid code like <?php if ($cond) { ?><h1>TRUE</h1><?php } ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-16 02:15:17] josh dot helzer at gmail dot com Description: ------------ When a processing instruction end (PIE), i.e., "?>", is encountered in a single-line comment, the PHP parser should handle it more intelligently, thus: If the PIE would, when outside single-line comment context (SLCC), not mark the end of the current PHP code block (e.g., if it occurred inside a string literal), it should not, when inside SLCC, mark the end of the code block. --- The above represents a compromise suggestion. I feel the semantics of comments ought to be the same as those in, e.g., C, Perl; i.e., comment text should be naively stripped from the input stream seen by the parser. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40832&edit=1
