I'm working on a script that will parse through a long string using
regexs to pattern match a certain format. I'm having an issue with a
'?>' in a string being picked up as an end-of-code character, but only
if the line before it is commented out. If the line before is NOT
commented out, PHP processes the file as normal (errors out, but I can
fix that). I'd appreciate it if someone else could run this script
and see what happens.
PHP Version:
$ php --version
PHP 4.3.10 (cli) (built: Dec 20 2004 10:45:58)
Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies
PHP Config line:
./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs2=/pub/apache/bin/apxs
--with-mcrypt=/usr/local/lib --with-curl=/usr/local --enable-ftp
--with-imap=/usr/local/imap --with-jpeg --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib
--with-png --with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-gd --with-freetype
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-ttf
Unexpected results:
If line 16 (indicated below) is commented out, the '?>' in the string
on line 17 makes PHP stop parsing and the rest of the script is simply
dumped to stdout. If line 16 is NOT commented out, the '?>' is NOT
picked up as being a PHP tag and it parses the script as PHP.
Environment:
Running in CLI on Redhat 9, current versions of all applicable
software. The exact same behavior occurs when running as a webpage
with Apache 2.0.52.
