ID: 26662 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: alindeman@php.net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: CGI related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: PHP 5.0.1 (cli) New Comment: Still wrong version and category and can't reproduce -> bogus. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-31 18:02:55] betz@php.net Updated version, changed category. php -r '${1} = "foo"; echo ${1}, "\n";' still outputs foo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-19 07:54:23] sniper@php.net Then you should set the version correctly, and category.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-18 21:42:28] iliaa@php.net Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely to be the same. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Dupe of bug #26601 which is marked won't fix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-18 21:25:21] john@php.net Confirmed this bug is in PHP 5 B3RC1 as well. It gets worse, you can put whatever you want in ${} and it'll take it just fine... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-18 21:06:52] alindeman@php.net Description: ------------ It is possible to set variables that start with numbers. I reproduced this with a PHP 4.3.x-dev snapshot AND PHP 5.0.0b2 (I was unable to get a snap to compile. autoconf errors out the wazoo). Reproduce code: --------------- andrew@laptop cli $ ./php -r '${1} = "foo"; echo ${1}, "\n";' foo Expected result: ---------------- A parse error Actual result: -------------- Outputs 'foo' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26662&edit=1
