Code Tag PHP Issue

[Ken2k7]

Okay so, I recently just found this out, but putting a ?> inside a string doesn't work.

 

<?php
$string = 'some static text here and here is a closing PHP tag ?> ...';

<?php
$string2 = "'some static text here and here is a closing PHP tag ?> ...'";

<?php
$string2 = "some static text here and here is a closing PHP tag ?> ...";

<?php
$string = 'some static text here and here is a closing PHP tag ?> ...';
$string2 = "'some static text here and here is a closing PHP tag ?> ...'";

 

It's messing up either the first quote or the last. Quote my post to see.

 

Something weird is up. Is this our issue or SMF's?

Anything to do with the general build of the forum is an SMF issue.

True. But I want to make sure this is not caused by a modification here on PHPFreaks.

 

The usage isn't so much as to put a ?> in a string, but you can imagine having a regex that coincidentally have that pattern.

It strips that first ' when there is a ?> involved. Weird.

 

<?php

$string = 'Test ?>';

<?php
$string = 'Test ?>';

 

SMF bug, replicated on my server as well.
