#33637 [Opn]: include fails on parse error

ID: 33637 User updated by: michal at cihar dot com Reported By: michal at cihar dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.10 New Comment: Sorry, the quotation was too short, it should have been: "Be warned that parse error in required file doesn't cause processing halting in PHP versions prior to PHP 4.3.5. Since this version, it does." Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-11 00:06:00] michal at cihar dot com I've read the documentation! There is: "Be warned that parse error in required file doesn't cause processing halting in PHP versions prior to PHP 4.3.5." It's about required and not about included files. Please either make the documentation clear that the same applies to included file or make interpreter not to fail on this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-10 23:49:07] derick@php.net 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 . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-10 23:39:28] michal at cihar dot com Description: ------------ While including file which has a parse error, php stops further processing. As I understand documentation, this should happen only for required files. This is also way it worked in previous php versions. We use such code in phpMyAdmin for including config file, what allows us to display friendly message when there is some error, however in latest PHP version user gets just empty page. Reproduce code: --------------- file1.php: <?php error_reporting(0); include('./file2.php'); echo 'Test'; ?> file2.php: <?php if ( ?> Expected result: ---------------- Test Actual result: -------------- empty ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33637&edit=1
