ID: 25987 Updated by: helly@php.net Reported By: tkwright_233 at hotmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: windows 98 PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Turn Off ShortTags and '<?xml will work. And after reading xml docs you will know why anywhere in a document '?>' will end php or any other xml processing instruction.

Ive got apache 1.3.27 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-25 14:13:23] tkwright_233 at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ when an xml 'starting' tag is placed on an document, php confuses it with its opining and closing tag. it confuses its closing tag with xml end of the tag, and php confuses the open tag for php with the start of the tag declaring an xml document. Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in c:/apache/htdocs/xml.php on line 1 currently, the workaround is: <?php echo'<'.'?'.'x'.'m'.'l vers'.'ion="1'.'.'.'0'.'" en'.'codi'.'ng="UT'.'F-8'.'"'.'?'.'>'."\n";?> Reproduce code: --------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Expected result: ---------------- [no error],rest of page Actual result: -------------- Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in c:/apache/htdocs/xml.php on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25987&edit=1
