ID: 29304 User updated by: devis at witcom dot com Reported By: devis at witcom dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Linux Debian PHP Version: 4.3.7 New Comment: <? switch($var){ ?> <? case "alpha": break; }?> should be equivalent to <? switch($var){ print "\n" case "alpha": break; }?> so why does it work if this <? switch($var){ print " " case "alpha": break; }?> does not work ?
