ID: 8858 Updated by: elixer Reported By: davidv@angliaed.co.uk Old-Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: Reproduceable crash PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 Assigned To: Comments: This is not a bug in PHP. If you are running your scripts on a Unix platform they must be terminated by a '\n' (0x0A). Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-01-23 13:21:55] davidv@angliaed.co.uk If a PHP source file is saved with Mac line endings (each line ends with character 13 (0x0D) only) then any comment that starts with // and ends with a question mark such as: // Comment? will cause an error message to be output to the browser: Parse error: parse error in /home/www/php/admin/syncdb.php on line 1 Note that the ? is NOT at the end of line 1 but can be anywhere in the script. With either Unix line endings (0x0A) or PC line endings (0x0D + 0x0A) the problem does not occur. The system is running apache 1.3.14 on a Linux (RedHat 6.0) i586 server. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION! Do NOT reply to this email!
