ID: 25874 Updated by: yohg...@php.net Reported by: fire at firepages dot com dot au Summary: var_export does not output valid code Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Variables related Operating System: XP PHP Version: 4.3.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: > by the way: you have to check your emailvalidator ... it says my emailaddress is not valid (so now i used another one) I have no idea what you're referring. Create new report if it's new, or add comment to appropriate report. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-25 20:58:19] yohg...@php.net Check documentation. Trailing comma is allowed in PHP. Comma is there for simplicity. Try to write your own, then you'll see. It's easy to write code, easy to add additional element. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-25 18:52:17] paulwolbers at home dot nl But why is the comma there? I don't want there because it looks like something's wrong (even if it's correct behaviour) by the way: you have to check your emailvalidator ... it says my emailaddress is not valid (so now i used another one) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-14 23:04:47] il...@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The trailing comma while unusual is perfectly valid and the code evaluates correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-14 22:21:48] fire at firepages dot com dot au Description: ------------ output from var_export($var,true) has trailing comma so you have to strip that manually before utilising the returned string. the manual example shows this behaviour so perhaps its a feature ? Reproduce code: --------------- $yaks = array( 'dfdf'=>'a' , 'b' , 'c' , 'd' ) ; echo '$llama = ' . var_export( $yaks , true ) . ' ;' ; Expected result: ---------------- $llama = array ( 'dfdf' => 'a', 0 => 'b', 1 => 'c', 2 => 'd' ) ; Actual result: -------------- $llama = array ( 'dfdf' => 'a', 0 => 'b', 1 => 'c', 2 => 'd', ) ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25874&edit=1
