#25153 [NEW]: Comments are parsed incorrectly causing code to be displayed

From: barce at cyphgen dot com Operating system: SuSE Linux 7.0 and FreeBSD 4.8 PHP version: 4.3.2 PHP Bug Type: Output Control Bug description: Comments are parsed incorrectly causing code to be displayed Description: ------------ While trying to write valid html 4.01, I commented out an XML tag placed in an echo statement. This caused PHP to print out php code instead of html. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php # echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?> "; echo "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\">\n"; echo "<html>\n"; ?> <head> <title>test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> test </body> </html> Expected result: ---------------- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> test </body> </html> Actual result: -------------- "; echo "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\">\n"; echo "<html>\n"; ?> <head> <title>test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> test </body> </html> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25153&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25153&r=gnused
