When a file is saved using Macintosh-style line breaks 
('\r') and there is some kind of error in the script (maybe 
a parse error, etc.) then the line number that is reported 
is always less than the line it occured on.  In my script PHP told me line 84, but it was actually 93.

It's a fairly minor thing, but annoying nonetheless. A 
workaround, obviously, is to make sure you save your 
scripts with Unix line-breaks ('\n').

Hello,

can you verify if this occurs when you have mixed line endings (other then only Mac endings) or just always (only Mac line endings).

I still see this bug in 4.3.0.  I have a file that I 
will email you that shows the problem.  If I use mac 
line endings the error is at line 44.  If I use unix 
line endings it shows at 67.

But to be clear, this does show up with pure mac line 
endings

I'm still seeing this as of PHP 5. If the file is saved using Windows line endings or Unix line endings, the line number for an error is accurate. But with Mac line endings, the line number is always way off. I cannot test with a file with mixed line endings since my text editor enforces the line endings for me based on what I choose (PC/Unix/Mac). If it's necessary I can write a program to generate a file with mixed line endings. I believe, however, that only Mac line endings (e.g. isolated \r characters) cause the problem. (My guess is the engine is looking only for \n but...)

I am using a Windows XP box with a text editor that lets me choose which line endings to save files in, if that is any help. The problem is not isolated to just the Mac OS.
