ID: 16948 Updated by: tal@php.net Reported By: steve@teamITS.com -Status: Closed +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: WinNT 4, IRIX64 vega 6.5 07091 PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: Marking as Bogus. -Tal Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-01 15:00:45] derick@php.net This is not a bug, see the manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.comments.php it says: The "one-line" comment styles actually only comment to the end of the line or the current block of PHP code, whichever comes first. and ?> is the end of a php block, so it drops out of PHP mode there and continues in HTML mode. AFAIK this also worked like this in 4.0.6 (and always in 4.x). Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-01 14:53:47] steve@teamITS.com I have a few PHP files that have a common header and footer which I pull in using an include(). After our web host upgraded from 4.0.6 to 4.1.2 I realized that include() was not working properly. My included file had a section with PHP tags that was commented out, like: //<?php //echo "hello"; //?> echo "hello2"; 4.0.6 would ignore these, but 4.1.2 ignores that there is a comment marker, and ends the PHP interpreter in the comment line, sending the 'echo "hello2";' and remaining code as TEXT to the browser. I am not sure if this qualifies as a bug but is definitely different that the behavior of 4.0.6 which ignored all commented lines. I have duplicated this on a Windows NT 4 server also. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16948&edit=1
