If this line independent from the variable name appears the php output hangs, that means no output after this point is produced. Hangs even when only <!-- occours in any string. (see sample 2) Reproduce code: --------------- //sample 1 $a = "<!--"; //sample 2 $a = "<!-"; $a .= "-"; Expected result: ---------------- the string shall be printed later on ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29436&edit=1
