#29347 [NEW]: parse error in cgi mode but not in isapi

From: jpearson at syntreo dot com Operating system: Linux and Windows XP PHP version: 4.3.9 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: parse error in cgi mode but not in isapi Description: ------------ When in cgi mode attached php script is classed as a parse error, I get: [roadkill@synsrv1 roadkill]$ php -l blah.php PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in /home/roadkill/blah.php on line 2 Errors parsing blah.php When you run the script in isapi mode it works fine. I tested this bug on php 4.3.4 and 4.3.9-dev on windows xp and php 4.3.6 and 4.3.8 on Linux (Fedora Core 2) This is NOT an issue in php 5 (on Windows at least) This is an issue for me because I have a php syntax check in the commitinfo file for cvs and it won't commit because it claims a parse error. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php function test(&$bar = null){ echo "No parse error!"; } $var = "hello"; test($var); ?> Expected result: ---------------- No parse error! Actual result: -------------- PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in /home/roadkill/blah.php on line 2 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29347&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29347&r=float
