ID: 53621 Updated by: paj...@php.net Reported by: bruno dot boccara at d2b dot com Summary: Bug with PHP comment // Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: WINDOWS 2008 64BIT PHP Version: 5.3.4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is a well known fact that // comments do not work on the same line than the opening php tag. See the source of the page and you will certainly see the error message (between html tags). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-12-28 18:32:27] ras...@php.net It is a simple syntax error. You must be suppressing error output/logging somehow or you would have seen the syntax error right away. Since you have a syntax error, the script could not be parsed and thus could not be executed and you therefore get no output from it other than the error message. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-12-28 18:20:04] bruno dot boccara at d2b dot com In fact, after some check into windows system alert, I don't see any php crash process. when calling a php page with this kind of code, apache logs return a 200 code (so it should be Ok), but in fact the html page is totally blank. more stange, I tried to do: <? echo "test"; exit(); <?=//$anything?> ?> it also return a blank page !! after deleting the line with <?=//$anything?>, it works normally.... I lost 3 days trying to understand what's going on until I find this.... (I'm not new in PHP !!!) For your info, the same script work perfectly under windows 2003 32, apache 2.0, php4.4.9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-12-28 17:46:59] fel...@php.net Thank you for this bug report.
