note 53980 added to language.basic-syntax

I came across this slightly weird behaviour when embedding php inside html comment tags <!-- start comment <? for ($i=0; $i<3; $i++) ?> end comment --> <? echo 'blah'; ?> will output: <!-- comment end comment --> blah ie you won't get 'end comment -->' or even 'blah' printed 3 times as you might expect but if you do <!-- start comment <? for ($i=0; $i<3; $i++) { ?> end comment --> <? echo 'blah'; } ?> you'll get: end comment --> blahend comment --> blahend comment --> blah which isn't what you probably want either ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+53980 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53980&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53980&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53980&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53980&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53980&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53980&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+53980&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
