From: Operating system: all PHP version: 5.3.8 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:nowdoc & heredoc definition fails on leaving scripts without php end-tag
Description: ------------ Scripts explicitly started with <?php, but leaved without an ending ?> having nowdoc or heredoc definitions inside will result in an syntax error. Full Error description: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_VARIABLE or T_END_HEREDOC or T_DOLLAR_OPEN_CURLY_BRACES or T_CURLY_OPEN in <FILE> on line <NUMBER> tested environment: Zend Server Community Edition PHP Version 5.3.8-ZS5.5.0 Workarround Solution: Simply close the <?php on scripts having nowdoc or heredoc definitions. In bigger projects the most developer leaved any scripts arround without an closing php-tag as usual to prevent printing out blank spaces / lines to the client. Test script: --------------- <?php echo <<<'EOT' <b>test</b> EOT; Expected result: ---------------- <b>test</b> Actual result: -------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_VARIABLE or T_END_HEREDOC or T_DOLLAR_OPEN_CURLY_BRACES or T_CURLY_OPEN in C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2\htdocs\bam.php on line 4 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60540&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60540&r=mysqlcfg
