I would be very worried if the output wasn't what you got. (you're using single quotes..are you sure you've pasted the right code here? :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-30 04:49:20] mike at cocoweb dot co dot uk Description: ------------ Unexpected output with echo statement. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php // Expression 1 echo 'echo "<bob ".func()."></bob>";'; // Newline for "view source" echo "\n"; // Expression 2 echo 'echo "<bob value=".func()."></bob>";'; // Newline for "view source" echo "\n"; // Expression 3 echo 'echo "bob ".func()."></bob>";'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- echo "<bob ".func()."></bob>"; echo "<bob value=".func()."></bob>"; echo "bob ".func()."></bob>"; // Note extra newlines for ease of reading. Actual result: -------------- echo "<bob .func().></bob>"; echo "<bob value=".func()."></bob>"; echo "bob ".func()."></bob>"; Line 2 and 3 are expected. Line 1 is just plain weird! Note that the '=' after 'value' makes the output work correctly. Bizarre. I have looked in PHP books, the web and asked a couple of experts all to no avail. You can reduce the original code down to: echo 'echo "<bob =".func()."></bob>";'; and it will give expected result! But remove the equals sign and the bug will occur. Also note removing the first < (i.e. before bob) will work too. (see expression 3). I'm possibly having a REALLY bad coding day and making a REALLY simple error... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32495&edit=1
