Bug #66312 [Opn->Nab]: PHP code inside <script> deletes LF

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66312&edit=1 ID: 66312 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported by: danielslcosta at gmail dot com Summary: PHP code inside <script> deletes LF -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: Windows 7 PHP Version: 5.5.7 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is on purpose to avoid stray newlines following closing PHP tags that might force out response headers prematurely which in turn means a subsequent header() call won't work. Not ideal, we know, but changing this would break a lot of legacy code. You need to put 2 CRs there if you want to force one or use ?><space><cr> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-12-17 23:19:55] danielslcosta at gmail dot com Description: ------------ To prevent some editors showing errors in Javascript code with PHP code inside it, I comment the lines with PHP code. When you run the code, the alert and </script> goes one line up, and become commented. It seems it's "eating" the Line Feeds. Tested with LF and CRLF, both in Windows 7/PHP 5.5.7 TS and CentOS 6.4 with PHP 5.5.5. If you put a space or any other character after the closing tag ?> it works. Test script: --------------- <script type='text/javascript'> //<?php if (1) { ?> alert('test'); //<?php } ?> </script> <script type='text/javascript'> //<?php if (1) { ?>/ alert('test'); //<?php } ?>/ </script> Expected result: ---------------- The JS alert box should pop and the resulting HTML should be: <script type='text/javascript'> // alert('test'); // </script> <script type='text/javascript'> /// alert('test'); /// </script> Actual result: -------------- The 'alert' and '</script>' are commented <script type='text/javascript'> // alert('test'); //</script> <script type='text/javascript'> /// alert('test'); /// </script> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66312&edit=1
