Description:
------------
Well my webhost had upgraded from 4.28 to 4.3.10,
and one of my scripts was failing.. I narrowed down the 
bug to this one line.. For some reason it made the difference 
between showning a submission form and dumping what looks like 
a partial dump of all the php code on the script.

//. '<br><table width=100%><tr><td align=right>' . $messages['mandatory'] . $messages['incorrect'] . '</td></tr></table><br>' 



Reproduce code:
---------------



$crap = '<form action="' . $complete_url . '" method=POST>' 
		. '<table border=2 width=100%><tr><td align=center><table><tr><td align=center>' . $messages['mandatory'] . $messages['incorrect'] . '</td></tr></table></td></tr></table><br>' 
		. $button_set 
		. "<br><br><br>" 
		. '<table border=1 ><tr><td>' 
		. $precrap 
		. "</td></tr></table>" 
		. '<input type=hidden name=generate value=1>' 
		. "<br><br><br>" 
		. $button_set 
		. '<br><br><br><table border=2 width=100%><tr><td align=center><table><tr><td align=center>' . $messages['mandatory'] . $messages['incorrect'] . '</td></tr></table></td></tr></table><br>' 
//. '<br><table width=100%><tr><td align=right>' . $messages['mandatory'] . $messages['incorrect'] . '</td></tr></table><br>'
 . '</form>';



Expected result:
----------------
IT creates a form by concantenating some 
assoaciative variables together with strings.. 


Actual result:
--------------
Picture a complete dump of everything in the script.. 

Removal of the line 

//. '<br><table width=100%><tr><td align=right>' . $messages['mandatory'] . $messages['incorrect'] . '</td></tr></table><br>'

Displays the form as it was intended.. 

Its something having to do with that //. I think..
