#41281 [Opn]: evaluating or including php content loses newlines

ID: 41281 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: fantasticjamieburns at hotmail dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux/Windows PHP Version: 4.4.7 New Comment: Reclassified as docu problem. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-04 11:02:38] derick@php.net But the new line is part of the closing tag. This is however not properly documented here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-04 10:51:43] fantasticjamieburns at hotmail dot com I have been developing with PHP since version 3. I have read the manual many times. The manual states: "... when PHP hits the ?> closing tags, it simply starts outputting whatever it finds until it hits another opening tag." NOW... As I have highlighted, PHP is not outputting everything after the closing tag in the specific case where there is a newline immediately after the closing tag. So... either tha manual is wrong or the parser is broken. Did you even bother to try the simple test case I gave? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-04 10:42:10] tony2001@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-04 10:29:19] fantasticjamieburns at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ Well when I eval() or include() the code below, a newline gets truncated. Basically, whenerver an "end of php block" is the last thing on a line, the parser steals a newline. Reproduce code: --------------- ONE TWO<?php /* whatever */ ?> THREE Expected result: ---------------- ONE TWO THREE Actual result: -------------- ONE TWOTHREE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41281&edit=1
