ID: 3564 Updated by: hholzgra@php.net Reported By: if@syncopated.net -Status: Open +Status: Won\'t fix Bug Type: Parser error Operating System: redhat 6.1 PHP Version: 3.0.14 New Comment: We are sorry, but can not support PHP 3 related problems anymore. Momentum is gathering for PHP 5, and we think supporting PHP 3 will lead to a waste of resources which we want to put into getting PHP 5 ready. Ofcourse PHP 4 will will continue to be supported for the forseeable future. use double \\ ?
