#31328 [Opn->Bgs]: Parser Error under Apache

ID: 31328 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: kevin_tom at hotmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux 6.2 PHP Version: 4.3.8 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php PHP is run before your browser does the html comments... PHP doesn't care about the HTML at all and tries to parse your script which has an error here.

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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31328&edit=1
