[php-src] Issue #7993: php open/close tags ignored within C-style comments

Issue: https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/7993 Comment Author: KapitanOczywisty It will do the exactly same thing with strings or heredocs and this is exactly how it was designed to do. Even If this would work as you're expecting it to do, you would get syntax error for unclosed comment. The only exception are single-line comments, as documented: > The "one-line" comment styles only comment to the end of the line or the current > block of PHP code, whichever comes first. This means that HTML code after // ... ?> or # ... > ?> WILL be printed: ?> breaks out of PHP mode and returns to HTML mode, and // or # cannot > influence that. > > https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.comments.php
