[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #7710: include'ing doesn't work properly From: brozen <email protected>
Date: 11/09/00

From: brozen <email protected>
Operating system: Linux
PHP version: 4.0.3pl1
PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: include'ing doesn't work properly

Please take a look at this: (php3)

http://zeraim.torah.org/~cblack/testdir/index.php3

http://zeraim.torah.org/~cblack/testdir/index.php3?sid=3

Now, try these: (php4)

http://terumah.teamgenesis.com/~cblack/index.php3

http://terumah.teamgenesis.com/~cblack/index.php3?sid=2

Precisely the same code. PHP on zeraim incorporates the header & footer and then parses all as one, while on terumah it is attempting to parse the header & footer as if they were independent of the file into which they are included.

Or in other words, PHP3 used to incorporate a 'require()ed' file without doing any work on it, and then parsed the whole thing together. So you could have an IF statement in the header [ if (...) { ] that ended in the footer [ } ].

No longer! That's why the same code is generating parse errors.
