From: Operating system: Debian Etch PHP version: 5.2.13 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:'Open php' tag at end of file causes 'syntax error, unexpected $end'
Description: ------------ This probably is a known effect, but I will just open a bug so it can be documented as such: When you end a file with a PHP open tag '<?php', and there is no character beyond the tag the parser chokes with an 'unexpected $end' parse error. Curiously, a short tag '<?' (if enabled) used in such a way raises no error. This effect is of course also seen when you eval a string containing an PHP open tag at the end of the string. (from there I originally stumbled on this behaviour) In PHP 5.3 the code behaves as expected, so someone probably already spotted this one, or fixed the parser to be less nitty. Test script: --------------- <?php Expected result: ---------------- Nothin Actual result: -------------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in test.php on line 1 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51550&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51550&r=mysqlcfg
