From: jeroen at unfix dot org Operating system: any PHP version: 5.0.3 PHP Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Bug description: Comment (/* */) parsing is also done inside strings
Description: ------------ Comments (/* */) are parsed wrongly. This works in most (if not all) C-compilers, with a similar construct. "http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.comments.php"; notes: "PHP supports 'C', 'C++' and Unix shell-style comments." And there are two other similar bug reports (Bug #31395: incorrect parsing of comments), and quite apparently PHP does *NOT* support C++ style comments. If it did it would not barf at the above. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php /* echo "*/"; */ echo "Blaat\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Blaat Actual result: -------------- --- 5.0.3 --- $ /opt/php/5.0/bin/php tst.php PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /tmp/tst.php on line 6 Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/5.0.3 --- 4.3.10-2 (debian's php4-cli 4:4.3.10-2) --- $ php -v PHP 4.3.10-2 (cli) (built: Dec 19 2004 03:41:45) $ php tst.php Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /tmp/tst.php on line 6 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31491&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31491&r=mysqlcfg
