hi,
And also line number don't get incremented if there are no line ends, so
all syntax errors are reported as being on line 1.
The issue might have never come up if the code used r mode for opens
rather that rb, since the file are 'text' files. On platforms that
don't used embedded newline characters as the record delimiters, the
implementation of fread is responsible for mapping the underlying file
format to cannonical form (i.e. \n's delimiting lines).
you are partially correct - if we have only 'native' files - yes this is
the
case. but imagine tons of downloaded code, parts of it originating from
*nix
others from windows, and parts of them edited so all the three possible
combinations are used. perhapse you know that most editors convert line
endings only for edited lines not for the whole file. now the task of
correctly counting line numbers is not that easy. neighter file conversion
is. of course some editors pretend to be that clever to interprete all the
three formats - something like greedy eating \n\r|\n|\r in this order...
b.
forgot to say that php must flawlessly interprete all the combinations
provided that it is a platform independant language and never rely on os
specific stuff - win php source must work on unix as unix php source on
windows...
I think it should interprete \r\n, \n and \r (which isn't followed by
a \n) as newlines.
