Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:string "<" bug
Description:
------------
Variables containing a less than sign at the start immediately followed by
a
character does not evaluate (nothing is returned). If the character is
followed by
other characters such as <br /> or \n, the correct string is returned.
Test script:
---------------
$foobar = "<A";
echo $foobar; //does not work!
(string) $foobar = "<A";
echo "$foobar"; //does not work!
function foobar(){
$foobar = "<A";
return $foobar;
}
echo foobar(); //does not work!
$foobar = "<A<br />";
echo $foobar; //works!
$foobar = "<A\n";
echo $foobar; //works!
Expected result:
----------------
<A
