Re: comment followed by ?> fails to parse

Exactly.. it doesn't seem to make any sense. Esspecially since it's such as absolutely incredibly undeniably easy thing to check for. :) If the code doesn't end with an uncommented ?> then just parse the code as text. That's what it does anyway so why catch commented code at all? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johnson, Kirk" <kjohnson@zootweb.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 2:55 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] comment followed by ?> fails to parse > Which begs the question, why does PHP see a '?>' in a '//' comment line, but > not in a multi-line comment, e.g., /* ?> */ ? > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Ed Gorski [mailto:gorskie@spjc.edu] > > Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 2:46 PM > > To: Leotta Natalie (NCI/IMS); 'Jonathan Rosenberg'; Johnson, Kirk; > > php-general@lists.php.net > > Subject: RE: [PHP] comment followed by ?> fails to parse > > > > > > No the parser sees the ?> after a // because it needs to see > > when to quit > > out (unlike traditional, compiled languages) but it won't > > have this same > > effect in a string literal..... > > > > ed > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
