#25874 [NEW]: var_export does not output valid code

From: fire at firepages dot com dot au Operating system: XP PHP version: 4.3.3 PHP Bug Type: Variables related Bug description: var_export does not output valid code Description: ------------ output from var_export($var,true) has trailing comma so you have to strip that manually before utilising the returned string. the manual example shows this behaviour so perhaps its a feature ? Reproduce code: --------------- $yaks = array( 'dfdf'=>'a' , 'b' , 'c' , 'd' ) ; echo '$llama = ' . var_export( $yaks , true ) . ' ;' ; Expected result: ---------------- $llama = array ( 'dfdf' => 'a', 0 => 'b', 1 => 'c', 2 => 'd' ) ; Actual result: -------------- $llama = array ( 'dfdf' => 'a', 0 => 'b', 1 => 'c', 2 => 'd', ) ; -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25874&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25874&r=float
