Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-06 01:52:49] rasmus@php.net Your copy-and-paste did something weird then.

I selected the first one because you would let me select "I dunno".) Reproduce code: --------------- --- From manual page: tutorial.firstpage --- <html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?> </body> </html> Expected result: ---------------- Hello World Actual result: -------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/sle97ncr/public_html/Experiments.php on line 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50097&edit=1
