So why can't it recognize '<?' from '<?xml' Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-30 14:41:38] tkwright_233 at hotmail dot com I have checked the manual, front-to-back, even memorized it. I heve checked the bugs very throughly, I am very 'good friends' with the 'how to report a bug' page. but still have found nothing on the topic. adding to the previous argument, the php engene recognizes '<?' from '<?=', or else '<?$a_declared_variable?>' would cause an error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-26 15:24:32] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 It does recognize the difference, if you disable short_tags, which you should for exactly this reason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-26 14:20:58] tkwright_233 at hotmail dot com abye there could be another variable in the php.ini, space required after tag start. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-25 15:18:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Short tags = '<?'. That matches '<?php' as well as '<?=' or '<?xml'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-25 14:13:23] tkwright_233 at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ when an xml 'starting' tag is placed on an document, php confuses it with its opining and closing tag. it confuses its closing tag with xml end of the tag, and php confuses the open tag for php with the start of the tag declaring an xml document. Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in c:/apache/htdocs/xml.php on line 1 currently, the workaround is: <?php echo'<'.'?'.'x'.'m'.'l vers'.'ion="1'.'.'.'0'.'" en'.'codi'.'ng="UT'.'F-8'.'"'.'?'.'>'."\n";?> Reproduce code: --------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Expected result: ---------------- [no error],rest of page Actual result: -------------- Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in c:/apache/htdocs/xml.php on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25987&edit=1
