ID: 27086 Updated by: edink@php.net Reported By: jaba at inbox dot lv -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: any? PHP Version: 5.0.0b3 (beta3) 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 .

I thought everything that follows these signs is considered a comment. Now in PHP5 (have no place to test on PHP4 now) i find out that if i have the PHP tag ?> in the commented line, the parser ends parsing PHP right there! So if you have smth like this in your code, then the rest of php code is sent as output !!! Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo 'hello world!'; // echo '?>'; $password='secretpassword'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- hello world! Actual result: -------------- hello world!'; $password='secretpassword'; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27086&edit=1
