I never noticed this before as the mirrors I use run on PHP5.3. This is due to the fact syntax highlighting is generated on the mirror itself, which may as well be running PHP4 which doesn't recognize this syntax... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-07 12:37:52] james at jamestandy dot com Description: ------------ Backslashes within user comments may not be getting inserted properly Reproduce code: --------------- http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.basics.php Looking at the first comment, I think backslashes are being stripped out of some text - this could get very confusing for users new to namespaces who read through the extra comments! Expected result: ---------------- Im fairly sure the first comment should look like this <?php // namespace MyProject\DB; require 'db.php'; use MyProject\DB; // fine; same as DB\ use MyProject\DB\Connection as DBC; // fine use MyProject\DB as HM; // fine use HM\Connection as DBC2; // class call ends with FATAL!!! $x = new DBC(); // fine $y = new HM\Connection(); // fine $z = new DBC2(); // Fatal error: Class 'HM\Connection' not found ?> Actual result: -------------- <?php // namespace MyProject\DB; require 'db.php'; use MyProjectDB; // fine; same as DB\ use MyProjectDBConnection as DBC; // fine use MyProjectDB as HM; // fine use HMConnection as DBC2; // class call ends with FATAL!!! $x = new DBC(); // fine $y = new HMConnection(); // fine $z = new DBC2(); // Fatal error: Class 'HM\Connection' not found ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48833&edit=1
