PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function
Bug description: > sign escapes from PHP
Description:
------------
This might be something I've got wrong, but in PHP5 it appears that if you
use the shorthand <? to start a php script, if you have a > sign anywhere
before the closing ?>, PHP escapes and starts processing the rest of the
script as HTML as if ?>; has been entered.
This didn't happen in 4.x, and feels like a bug rather than a feature.
This is with PHP Windows NT 5.1.6 build 2600, dated Aug 23 2006 16:31:18.
I would have upgraded in order to retest, but am unable to due to client's
requirements.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
/*
* test break out of php with greater than sign
*
*/
function somefunction($x) {
if ($x > 100) {
do_something();
}
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Running this script on it's own should produce no output.
Actual result:
--------------
Actual output is:
100) { do_something(); } } ?>
