From: ldrut at charter dot net Operating system: LINUX PHP version: 5.2.12 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: HEREDOC at EOF Error
Description: ------------ Bug observed in 5.2.9. Shared hosting - can't upgrade. Review of changelog does not suggest a fix has been made. Documentation stated HEREDOC closing line must be only text on line, but it also appears that the closing text MUST be followed by a new line. If the HEREDOC closes the file with no terminating /n, an error is produced. Addition of a 1-line comment in a following line clears the error (as does anything else that forces a newline - my editor strips trailing /n from the document). I'm not sure if this is a documentation error or a scripting error as I don't know which way is intended behavior. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $v = <<<EOF Anything, but there is nothing in the file following the upcoming semicolon EOF; Expected result: ---------------- no output. Assigns variable. Actual result: -------------- "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50786&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50786&r=mysqlcfg
