PHP 4.0 Bug #7131: Undocumented change in behaviour of alternate syntax

From: diego@otello.alma.unibo.it Operating system: Linux (RH7.0) PHP version: 4.0.3RC2 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: Undocumented change in behaviour of alternate syntax This used to work with PHP3 and stopped when I upgraded to PHP4. Seems that require() doesen't support opening a block in the included file an closing it in the block that contains the require() itself. Maybe a short example could explain it better... In test.inc : <?php if(1): ?> ABC In test.php3 : ><?php require("test.inc"); echo "Test OK"; endif; ?> With php3 it worked ("ABC Test OK"), with php4 it stops with parse error on last line of test.inc (sure it doesen't find the expected endif...)
