ID: 12323 Updated by: sander Reported By: lael@evolutionmc.com Old Status: Open Status: Feedback Bug Type: Output Control Operating System: Mac OS X PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: status->feedback Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-06 14:11:37] sander@php.net As asked before by Cynic, can you view the source of the output of the PHP-file? It doesn't matter which browser you use. See the post of Cynic for instructions on doing this with IE or Netscape ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-27 13:01:35] sniper@php.net status: open ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-25 11:40:51] lael@evolutionmc.com The ## works just the same as the // Also, for those that asked I try it in Netscape. Netscape does the same thing. The php is being processed, it's just that any line with a "//" or a "##" will first be displayed up at the top of the page and then from the line after the comment the PHP will resume. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-25 02:10:02] cynic@php.net could you please check the source of the output (View -> Page Source in Netscape 4.x, and View -> Source in IE) to check that PHP scripts get actually executed? (Sorry if this is dumb, but the example you provided really looks like this is the case.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-24 15:40:01] lael@evolutionmc.com 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. Lael ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
