#26814 [Com]: parse error in included file won't stop the main script execution

ID: 26814 Comment by: magnus at monkerud dot com Reported By: mccarthy36 at earthlink dot net Status: Closed Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: * PHP Version: 5CVS, 4CVS New Comment: actually the way i see it, the main/parent code should continue, it should just not run the wrongly parsed child include() / include_once(), if the main quits just due to a simple parse error then the whole point of differenciating between fatal errors and parse errors goes away. + that it makes plugin making very hard in CLI / RUNTIME CONSOLE enviroments, when working on a plugin on a maincode in runtime, and you do a simple parse error in the plugin, then save, then the whole runtime goes down and quit, which makes plugin making a slow nightmare.

(but it doesn't, that's the bug here, IMO) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-06 11:10:02] mccarthy36 at earthlink dot net Description: ------------ I don't know if this is considered a bug, but in my opinion it's undesirable behavior. I'm finding that if I try to include a file that has a parse error, the file is not included -- the include function used returns false -- but the "included" file name is in the array returned by get_included_files(). Reproduce code: --------------- (file 1) <?php $worked = "NO"; echo "*", include_once( 'included.php' ), "*"; echo "<pre>"; var_dump( get_included_files() ); echo "</pre>"; echo "#{$worked}#"; ?> (file 2) <?php $worked = "YES"; $name = "blah "whatever"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Since there is a parse error in the "included" file, and include_once() returns false, I expect the name of the "included" file not to appear in the array returned by get_included_files(). Actual result: -------------- include_once() returns false, yet the name of the "included" file is in the array returned by get_included_files(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26814&edit=1
