From: brad at njoe dot com Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5.2.9 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Parse error messages getting less descriptive
Description: ------------ Something has changed in the way the PHP parser reports errors during parsing - it has become slightly less descriptive in certain cases. As far as I can tell, this change happened sometime AFTER the release of PHP version 5.2.6 (in this version, the error message was as expected) - this includes the latest development releases (including PHP 6.0.0-dev). Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo ; 'Error! Error!'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in (file) on line 3 Actual result: -------------- Parse error: parse error in (file) on line 3 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48337&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48337&r=mysqlcfg
