RE: [PHP-DEV] WEIRD, WEIRD problem with upgrade to 4.0.5

well, I don't think that was the reason... because <? echo 'hello world'; // please no... echo '<BR>'; ?> will print me: // please no... echo '<BR>'; any further ideas?

In particular, the newline just before the // comment that got printed out where it should not is probably mac-style '\r' instead of unix-style '\n' or dos-style '\r\n'. Fix those newlines and everything will work like a charm, or wait tilll 4.0.6 and hope it works:) Vlad Maxim Maletsky wrote: > Hello everyone. > > in short: I had upgraded PHP from 4.0.1pl2 to 4.0.5. > and this is what happened: > > The pages started breaking on > '//' > (YES, ON COMMENTS!) > > If there's no '//' then it works ok, but when it encounters any > backslashes-commented line like here: > -- > <? > $special_folder = 'inc'; > $DoNotQuit =True; if( !$config_inc_def ) > include("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/inc/config.php"); > > session_start(); > session_register('array_ra'); > session_register('PV'); > session_register('w3'); > session_unregister('view'); > //unset($view); > if (isset($w3)) > $time_spent = time()+1-$w3; > $w3 = time(); > > include ("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/inc/head.php"); > -- > > IT CRASHES! > > > The weird thing is that there a config file included before, and it HAS a > WHOLE BUNCH of '//' but the page goes well until the first '//' encountered. > > AND, THE CODE IS BEING SHOWN ON THE PAGE! > > to give you an idea: > > -- config.inc > > echo "What the "; > // should print some > > --- > > -- test.php > > include('conf.inc'); > echo 'hell'; > --- > > this works fine > prints 'What the hell' > > but if modify test.php: > > -- test.php > > include('conf.inc'); > // should work too.. > echo 'hell'; > --- > > it prints: 'What the // should work too..' > > ISN'T THAT WEIRD? > WHAT IS IT? > > I cannot keep testing any further since we had out server down for the whole > 20 mins and had to place back from the tapes old PHP4.0.1pl2. > > CONCLUSION: > IT WORKS ON 4.0.1pl2 AND CRASHES ON 4.0.5 > > MY PRESUMPTIONS: > A BUG > > PHP COMPILED AS: > --with-mysql --with-pgsql --with-apxs --enable-track-vars > > WHAT WAS CHANGED: > php 4.0.5 is now also compiled --with-pgsql while the previous > installation wasn't > > PLATFORM: > LINUX Red Hat 6.1 > Apache 1.3.9 > > > Please help us with this. > > > Sincerely, > Maxim Maletsky > Web Developer > > Digital Media, > Japan Inc Communications > www.japaninc.com > maxim@japaninc.com > TEL: 03-3499-2175 x 1271 > FAX: 03-3499-3109 >
