From: Jonathon dot Reinhart at gmail dot com Operating system: Linux (Suse 10.2) PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Incorrect variable assignment doesn't cause parse error
Description: ------------ Simply putting a dollar sign ($) with no variable name afterwards, and no semicolon does not cause any error. Reproduce code: --------------- Example 1 (Gives no error): <?php $a = $ $b = 1; ?> Example 2 Notice: Undefined variable: b in /srv/test2/htdocs/phpbug.php on line 4 <?php error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); $a = $ $b = 1; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Expected to see a parse error on line 2 of Example 1. Wouldn't expect the parser to continue looking after a "$" for a variable name after a "\n". Actual result: -------------- No error in Example 1. Incorrect error in Example 2. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44566&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44566&r=mysqlcfg
