#30241 [Opn->Bgs]: Warning: Unexpected character in input:

ID: 30241 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: vgr_php at europeanexperts dot org -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: FreeBSD, linux PHP Version: 4.3.8 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. It's likely a bison issue, the solution is either to upgrade to later binary release 4.3.9/4.3.8 or to recompile PHP with correct bison. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-26 12:34:40] vgr_php at europeanexperts dot org Description: ------------ Problematic server : Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) PHP/4.3.7 platform : FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p27 every once in a while, I got "Warning: Unexpected character in input: '" at various lines and with no relation to the actual script line. It's not a file transfer problem (EOLN missing, etc), it's not a backslash problem, it's not a "globals in string" reference problem, it smells more like broken binaries for FreeBSD, linux and why not other platforms. For reference, I found this old bug : http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=73616 and more important I found http://drupal.org/book/print/257 which is a server that ***also*** runs Apache 1.3.31 and PHP 4.3.8 on linux and has the very same problem... ("Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /var/www/drupal.org/modules/codefilter/codefilter.module on line 29") When looking in the changelog for PHP 4.3.8, I don't see this possible issue mentioned. Thus I file it. I can't upgrade the problematic server myself with 4.3.8, so I can't tell if the issue is fixed or not. My windows server "Apache/1.3.29 (Win32) PHP/4.3.8" has no problem whatsoever. I don't know what happened between Apache 1.3.29 and 1.3.31 or between PHP 4.3.6 and PHP 4.3.8, but there is a problem in the binaries for some platforms.
