#29347 [Opn->Bgs]: parse error in cgi mode but not in isapi

ID: 29347 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: jpearson at syntreo dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux and Windows XP PHP Version: 4.3.9 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 Possibility to use default values with arguments passed by reference is PHP5-only. Check it twice, 4.3.x MUST give you an error message with ISAPI too. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-23 06:45:37] jpearson at syntreo dot com 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29347&edit=1
