I suppose I found bug in PHP parser. There is PHP > code: > <?php > > print( 'test' ); > //print( "<?php print( 'aaa' ); ?>" ); According to http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.comments.php, a one-line comment only extends to "the end of the line or the current block of PHP code, whichever comes first." In this case, that'd mean that the comment doesn't include the " ); And since the ?> on that line ends the current code block... > /*print( "<?php print( 'aaa' ); ?>" );*/ > ?> ...then these two lines would not be processed by PHP at all, but would be passed to the browser as text. So it appears to me it's working as documented, if not 100% intuitively... --- Mark Roedel | "Blessed is he who has learned to laugh Systems Programmer | at himself, for he shall never cease LeTourneau University | to be entertained."
