PHP 4.0 Bug #7024 Updated: Question Mark causes a parse error if is on a line commented with //

ID: 7024 Updated by: stas Reported By: maxim@maxim.cx Status: Feedback Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Assigned To: Comments: Could not reporoduce on 4.0.3RC2. Could you please provide full reproducing script? Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-04 21:19:10] maxim@maxim.cx I noticed that if you have a question mark in a commented line the parser gives you a parse error. see here: if ( $activate_arrows ) // Arrows Needed ? { ... } I read bug reports prevousely posted about this issue, but I insist: I can understand "<?" and "?>" but in the above example I think it is more then resonable to allow commented "?" since what I was (and i think many others still are) trying to do is to comment the code with a human language, which is very important for the usability of PHP. Thank you for your attention. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7024
