From: timtowdi at yahoo dot com Operating system: All PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Source filters
Description: ------------ It would be immensely useful to have a source filtering capability similar to Perl: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlfilter.html Essentially, a way to allow a special block of code to execute and "filter" through the source code of the script before it is fed through the interpreter. This would allow some very useful features, such as embedding debugging code within comments, and then automatically executing that code if a debugging filter is included into the script. Thus, if the filter is left out, the debugging code remains harmless comments: <?php include('debug.php'); $result = some_convoluted_function(); ### Expected: 106852.244 ### Got: $result ?> This particular kind of example is based off the Perl Smart::Comments module: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Smart%3A%3AComments&mode=module -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45196&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45196&r=mysqlcfg
