Bug #70983 [NEW]: commenting a printf line causes script to fail with "Unexpected end of file"

From: php at rossw dot net Operating system: FreeBSD 10.2 PHP version: 5.6.16 Package: Reproducible crash Bug Type: Bug Bug description:commenting a printf line causes script to fail with "Unexpected end of file" Description: ------------ A quoted string containing ?> is treated correctly inside an active code block, but causes errors due to being handled differently if the line is commented out. I can see how it could be argued that ?> should not appear, but there are times you might actually WANT to print it. Simply commenting out the line should not materially alter the way the (otherwise perfectly healthy) script runs. Test script: --------------- <?php printf("This is a test\n"); if(1 > 0) { // printf("?> Debug code\n"); printf("Got here\n"); } printf("Finished\n"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- php is seeing the "?> Debug code" as quoted text, and handles it correctly while the line is not commented. As soon as the line is commented, php is seeing the quoted ?> as the end of the code and errors. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70983&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70983&r=mysqlcfg
