Including or inserting following non-php code as php3 code causes parser to stop before running any code and mod_php returns document without data (= browser sees length 0 bytes). It should be noted that following code isn't supposed to work but parser doesn't give any reason for failure - nothing goes into logs or browser. Interesting enough php doesn't even enter forever loop - child quits normally.

Tested with mod_php distributed with Mandrake 7.1 and mod_php build with "./configure '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql'".

<?php
# Note that we DO NOT run following function - parser just stops??
function phpDie()
{
# comment following to make script working.
	@($a,$b) = print("PHP3 - Yet another parser bug");
	return 1;
}
print("It works now?!?");
?>
