PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: undefined function parse-error in if-clause
Description:
------------
This problem only occurs sometimes. I only had it for 5-8 times, but it
really drives me crazy for now. I can't explain myself to be such a bad
programmer, so it must be a bug.
It occurs sometimes in if clauses like:
if (isset($a) || isset($b)) {
// do something
}
..and PHP returns
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function () in /index.php on line XX"
If the if-clause was "((isset($a)) || (isset($b)))" it helped to remove
the additional parenthesis, and do "(isset($a) || isset($b))2 instead.
Also the error was eliminated in some cases by adding another side to the
expressions, like "((isset($a)==true) || (isset($b)==false))".
But for now I'm really fed up with this:
$a=isset($_GET['action']);
$b=$a && (strpos($_GET['action'], 'admin')===false);
if (($a) || ($b)) {
echo "if it works or not doesn't matter; the question is if it can be
parsed";
}
I tried everything but I can't get that expression to work. In antoher
case i really wrote TWO if-clauses with only one statement that called one
and the same function. Working an above code also revaled that $b becomes
unexptected, when writing:
if ($a || $b) {
echo "if it works or not doesn't matter; the question is if it can be
parsed";
}
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /index.php on line 353
Anyway, that error occurs only in some bunch of code and cannot really be
reproduced with a single file containing above code-snippets.
I appreciate appropiate workarounds for that problem ;)
PHP Version doesn't matter. I had the problem with PHP 4.x and still have
it with 5.04 and 5.1RC3.
