From: ikickdogsforfun at hotmail dot com Operating system: Gentoo Linux PHP version: 5.2.6RC5 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: Incorrect handling of a closing # to # based comments
Description: ------------ A # comment can be closed by a second # causing PHP to act rather oddly. Any errors that occur on the same line but after the closing # are reported as an error on the next line, however if there are no errors anything after the second # is ignored and not processed as if it was a comment. I think based on this, there needs to be some concistency about what happens when a second # is encountered. Are these intended to be embedded comments which can be be closed? Or should everything being ignored after the first # untill a new line character is encountered? Reproduce code: --------------- This produces 2 errors, one on line 2, one on line 3, though they are both about line 3: <? echo \"some ".# This is an imbedded comment#"text"; ?> This only echos out 'some': <? echo "some ".# This is an imbedded comment#"hi"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- I would expect to see 'some text' echoed out, as I was under the impression these kinds of comments were imbedded.
