#48833 [Opn->Ver]: Backslashes in comments

ID: 48833 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported By: james at jamestandy dot com -Status: Open +Status: Verified Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: XP PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Hah. 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...

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 http://bugs.php.net/?id=48833&edit=1
