However, it seems that the "?>" in the comment line breaks out of php interpretation mode and switches to direct output mode. The actual result appears in command line mode and browser mode. I actually came upon the problem because in a more complicated script, it produced compile errors. However, in this simple script it produces unexpected output only. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php //echo "?>\n".$buffer; ?> Expected result: ---------------- No ouput Actual result: -------------- \n".$buffer; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37049&edit=1
