 Actually, I should say... the backup file due to a CVS conflict or auto
 merge.

Which is funny to see when you're editing a Vim-backup of a
backed-up file and it gets swept up by an automated CVS commit script.
 You wind up with something like the following:

#.a.php.bak.swp~

This happened when I was double-checking a function in a script I
was working on about a year ago.  The file looked like a toddler's
drawing of a choo-choo train in the TTY.

Assuming you are talking about the filename which contains '#' char, I think
its the filesystem which is not supporting the file name with '#' character.
what is the filesystem?

That's pretty vague there, Sebastian.  What error are you getting?
 What operating system?  How are you attempting to open the file?
What is the file name?

Details, man!  ;-P

Re: [PHP] a questoin about the # char

2008-06-12 Thread DeadTOm
Inside a php script the '#' denotes the beginning of a comment. I don't 
know that it has any use at all in the address line. What specifically 
is the error?
I'd guess that php would ignore the rest of the line following the '#' 
and so this could generate any number of errors depending on what 
information is carried in the address and what that info is for.
I'm not aware of any way to scan the address within php, this might need 
to be done with a proxy of some kind. If it can be done or if you can 
talk to the owner of the site you're trying to get the file from, you  
might try replacing the '#' with a '%23'.

 I want to know what the # char does.

In a url it's an anchor tag (http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_links.asp).

In php it's used to mark a comment.

?php
# this is a comment and not executed.
?

It means nothing specific in a filename.
