#30384 [NEW]: PHP's HTML parser eats linefeeds

From: septh at freesurf dot fr Operating system: Windows XP Pro PHP version: 4.3.9 PHP Bug Type: Output Control Bug description: PHP's HTML parser eats linefeeds Description: ------------ When parsing HTML source code, PHP seems to "eat" the linefeed after the ?> marker. Tested on Windows XP Professional SP1 with Apache 1.3.31 and PHP 4.3.9. Unfortunately, I can't test it with any other versions (I do not have administrator access to the machine). Reproduce code: --------------- File test.php : --------------- <html> <head><title>Test</title></head><body> <pre style="border: 1px solid black;"> line 1 <?php echo "line 2"; ?> line 3 <?php echo "line 4"; ?> line 5 </pre> </body> </html> Expected result: ---------------- line 1 line 2 line 3 line 4 line 5 Actual result: -------------- line 1 line 2line 3 line 4line 5 Note 1: Ok, I realize there are no "\n" ni my echo statements. However, there *is* a linefeed after each ?> in the HTML code, and I wouldn't expect PHP to remove them. Note 2: by adding an extra character after the ?> (say, a space char), the ouput is correct. Note 3: the problem arises whether I save the test.php file with PC-style (\n), Unix-style (\r\n), or Mac-style (\r) linefeeds. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30384&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=float MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30384&r=mysqlcfg
