#31491 [Opn->Csd]: Comment (/* */) parsing is also done inside strings

ID: 31491 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: jeroen at unfix dot org -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: any PHP Version: 5.0.3 New Comment: This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. I think it's clear enough. However I've added: "'C' style comments end by the first encountered */."

(c) http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.comments.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-11 12:48:43] jeroen at unfix dot org Compiling that works fine with GCC++, Intel C++ and Visual C++. Thus fix the documentation on the PHP site. Indeed, it does not compile with C, but it does with a C++ compiler. C doesn't allow nested /* */ commenting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
