Bug #13938 Updated: Bad line numbers reported for parse errors

ID: 13938 User updated by: troy@leaver.com Reported By: troy@leaver.com Old Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: WinNT 4.0 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: There are absolutely no newlines. In fact, at this very moment I am making changes to a web application, and am getting a parse error on line 1837 of a script which has only 1148 lines. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-05 21:43:29] brianlmoon@php.net Can you check your file for newlines after the %>. I can reproduce the error by putting 3 or 4 newlines at the end of the file after the closing tag. Because you are in a string, it errors when it reaches EOF. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-05 16:56:41] troy@leaver.com I saw some previous reports of this bug in earlier versions of PHP 4. It's back in 4.0.6, at least on WinNT 4.0. Here's an extremely simple sample script: <% $test = "This is an improperly terminated string; %> This script has a total of 5 lines. The error generated to the browser when this script is accessed is: Parse error: parse error in d:\users\tleaver\leaver.com\htdocs\bad.php on line 9 Line 9 does not exist. Unlike previous reports of this bug which I've seen, this bug does not depend on includes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13938&edit=1
