Bug #12323 Updated: // comment tag does not work

ID: 12323 User updated by: lael@evolutionmc.com Reported By: lael@evolutionmc.com Status: Open Bug Type: Output Control Operating System: Mac OS X PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: For those asking for an example of the script and the output. Using the following: <code> <?php print("Working so far <BR>"); print("Still working next line is going to be a comment<BR>"); // This line should be a comment print("This is the next line past the comment<BR>"); ?> </code> I get the following result: <browser output> // This line should be a comment print("This is the next line past the comment "); Working so far Still working next line is going to be a comment <end of browser output> Thanking everyone for the help. Greatly appreciate it.

More or less, anywhere I use a "//" to comment, the entire line is displayed to the user. The following two scripts will give me the same result. <?php // This comment will show on the web page ?> <?php print('// This comment will show on the web page'); ?> I noticed in the documentation that the "//" was considered a C++ style of commenting. Do I possibly need a particular module or directive to say that "//" is a comment? Thanks, Lael ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-24 14:27:13] lael@evolutionmc.com I received an email stating that it could not be reproduced on a RH Linux 7 machine. This problem is specific to Mac OS X client, so I'm sure that you were unable to reproduce it on your box. Either way, this is definately happening and is not "bogus" as you said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-24 14:16:26] andy@php.net unable to reproduce on RH Linux 7. This sounds very bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-23 18:35:15] cnewbill@php.net Okay it would happen on more than one liners. basically if you have a ?> on the same line as the // comment it will do this. I know there is some other bugs on this same problem, but I don't have the numbers handy. -Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-23 18:31:24] cnewbill@php.net The only situation I can think of where this would happen is <?php // print "stuff"; ?> i.e. one liners If this is your case this is expected behavior IIRC. Otherwsie submit a small script that reproduces the problem. -Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
