Doc #77812 [Com]: 7.3 heredoc syntax not documented in manual proper

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77812&edit=1 ID: 77812 Comment by: santiagoarizti at gmail dot com Reported by: bugs dot php dot net at ss dot st dot tc Summary: 7.3 heredoc syntax not documented in manual proper Status: Re-Opened Type: Documentation Problem Package: Strings related Operating System: * PHP Version: 7.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The problem in php interactive mode is still there. Here I show How I create a php file and add a simple function that echoes a string from a heredoc. But the same function in interactive mode is not even recognized as a complete heredoc, so I cannot even close the function. see this: santiagoarizti@santis-mac:~$ docker run --rm -it php:7.3 bash root@a8df21f382dd:/# echo -e '#!/usr/local/bin/php\n<?php\nfunction sayHello($name) {\n echo <<<EOF\n hola $name\n EOF;\n}\nsayHello($argv[1]);echo PHP_EOL;\n' > santi.php root@a8df21f382dd:/# cat santi.php #!/usr/local/bin/php <?php function sayHello($name) { echo <<<EOF hola $name EOF; } sayHello($argv[1]);echo PHP_EOL; root@a8df21f382dd:/# php santi.php Santiago hola Santiago root@a8df21f382dd:/# php -a Interactive shell php > function sayHello($name) { php { echo <<<EOF <<< > hola $name <<< > EOF; <<< > } Notice how I am still inside heredoc according to php. Here is a simpler example without anything but an echo: santiagoarizti@santis-mac:~$ docker run --rm -it php:7.3 Interactive shell php > echo <<<EOF <<< > this works fine, <<< > old syntax <<< > EOF; this works fine, old syntax php > echo <<<EOF <<< > this doesn't <<< > work, new syntax <<< > EOF; <<< > Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-04-03 21:07:09] chasepeeler at gmail dot com So, it doesn't appear the other issue I mentioned in my previous email is actually a bug. The fact that the migration documentation is incorrect still applies, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-04-03 17:54:07] chasepeeler at gmail dot com The documentation at https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration73.incompatible.php#migration73.incompatible.core.heredoc-nowdoc is definitely wrong. As written: <?php $str = <<<FOO abcdefg FOO FOO; ?> will not produce the error mentioned. Instead, it will give the following: Parse error: Invalid body indentation level (expecting an indentation level of at least 4) If you don't indent that line: <?php $str = <<<FOO abcdefg FOO FOO; ?> You'll get an error, but still not the one reported. This appears to be a bug though, as it's requiring a semicolon after the identifier, despite the fact that documentation says that is no longer required. See https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76608 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-03-28 09:54:54] cmb@php.net > […] which doesn't even mention new syntax. Re-opening as doc bug, then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-03-28 00:11:20] bugs dot php dot net at ss dot st dot tc Oh thank you so much. I didn't look there. Instead, was staring at https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredoc which doesn't even mention new syntax. Thanks again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-03-28 00:03:28] a at b dot c dot de This is the first entry listed under the "Backward Incompatible Changes" section of the 7.3 migration guide. http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration73.incompatible.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
