#31328 [NEW]: Parser Error under Apache

From: kevin_tom at hotmail dot com Operating system: Linux 6.2 PHP version: 4.3.8 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Parser Error under Apache Description: ------------ configure command line: './configure' '--with-zlib' '--with-mysql=/var/lib/mysql' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--with-oci8=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7' '--with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds' Browser: IE6 & Firefox by far This is a purely PHP parser problem, I think. It can't determine if the "{" and "}" inside HTML comment tags. Problematic codes: --------------------------------------- Begin of html/php file These are html codes <!-- <?}?> --> <br> End of htm file --------------------------------------- The HTML comment should take privilege over the PHP tag thus these codes shouldn't generate a problem, but it does. Error: Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' Reproduce code: --------------- Begin of html/php file These are html codes <!-- <?}?> --> <br> End of htm file Expected result: ---------------- Begin of html/php file These are html codes End of htm file Actual result: -------------- Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' on line 7 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31328&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31328&r=mysqlcfg
