Dear elephant, This behaviour of ?> in a comment is documented in the PHP manual, and has been as long is I've been using it. Definitely *not* a bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-29 10:47:06] jaba at inbox dot lv If this is not a bug, i must be an elephant. Just check this out, sir: At first, take this code: <?php echo '?>'; echo '?>'; echo '?>'; ?> And then take this one: <?php echo '?>'; //echo '?>'; echo '?>'; ?> This is bug if i cant comment a line that outputs a string that has "some special characters". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-29 08:22:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-29 08:18:22] jaba at inbox dot lv Description: ------------ Comment line starters # and // dont work properly. I thought everything that follows these signs is considered a comment. Now in PHP5 (have no place to test on PHP4 now) i find out that if i have the PHP tag ?> in the commented line, the parser ends parsing PHP right there! So if you have smth like this in your code, then the rest of php code is sent as output !!! Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo 'hello world!'; // echo '?>'; $password='secretpassword'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- hello world! Actual result: -------------- hello world!'; $password='secretpassword'; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27086&edit=1
