Yeah, good catch. (And a backslash would actually always be lost at the end of a heredoc, even with other text before it.) Because of a check in the loop that scans for escape sequences, the \ becomes \0 (null byte). For the devs: I removed the additional check for end of string. All that will happen with this reproduce code is variable "s" will be incremented past the end of the string at the end of the while () -- but I believe that's safe because it won't be read from afterwards.

The doc says heredoc behaves exactly as double quoted string - so in this one particular case of the single backslash - we have a case which cannot be produced in a double quoted string - so the behaviour is undefined. The engine appears to treat is as a 'record separator', but I think it would be better treated as a backslash. Im quite happy for this to be closed as bogus - Its just that the code below is from a php test case - I dont suppose anyone will actually do this. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $heredoc_string_only_backslash =<<<EOT \ EOT; $str = $heredoc_string_only_backslash; var_dump(bin2hex($str)); $str_addslashes = addslashes($str); var_dump(bin2hex($str_addslashes)); $str_stripslashes = stripslashes($str_addslashes); var_dump(bin2hex($str_stripslashes)); ?> Expected result: ---------------- On running the code I get: string(2) "00" string(4) "5c30" string(2) "00" which looks a little strange, I would have expected: string(2) "5c" string(4) "5c5c" string(2) "5c" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44830&edit=1
