[php-maint] Bug#448672: php5: Improper code interpretation without compound statement

[inet]

Package: php5
Version: 5.2.3-1+lenny1
Severity: normal


The following code misbehaves:

<?
if ( true )
	echo "This should be displayed.<br>";

if ( false )
	echo "This won't be displayed.<br>";

if( false )
{
	echo "This also won't be displayed.<br>";
}

if( false )
{
	?>This also won't be displayed.<br><?
}

if( false )
	?>This shouldn't be displayed, but is, and there are no warnings to suggest that it is improper.<br><?

?>

Apparently, the ?> directive is improperly handled.
