#30776 [NEW]: unreadable answer from parser

From: rob at alterlinks dot fr Operating system: Linux 2.6.3-7 PHP version: 5.0.2 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: unreadable answer from parser Description: ------------ Please see bug #28243 I know, as reported, it is maybe *not* a bug, one has to use the correct syntax ! But, when using <? unset (variable) ?> the parser result : expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM is not understandable, at least not to me. PHP4 returns an understandble code. Reproduce code: --------------- <? unset (variable); ?> (indeed, the above code is *incorrect*, it's only to provoque de parser's return code) Expected result: ---------------- Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /var/www/sites/premiere/phpinfo.php on line 2 Actual result: -------------- Parse error: parse error, unexpected ')', expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /var/www/sites/bios/phpinfo.php on line 2 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30776&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=float MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30776&r=mysqlcfg
