No, it is not a dupe, it is a documentation problem. re-read it please. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-11 13:45:50] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Duplicate to #31395. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-11 13:00:41] jeroen at unfix dot org One cannot nest C comments, so that is clearly incorrect ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-11 12:56:14] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The docs clearly say: "You should be careful not to nest 'C' style comments, which can happen when commenting out large blocks." (c) http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.comments.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-11 12:48:43] jeroen at unfix dot org Compiling that works fine with GCC++, Intel C++ and Visual C++. Thus fix the documentation on the PHP site. Indeed, it does not compile with C, but it does with a C++ compiler. C doesn't allow nested /* */ commenting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-11 12:33:53] [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 Try to compile this: #include <stdlib.h> int main() { /* printf("*/"); */ return 1; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
