Comments containing apostrophes fail.
It works if they are escaped but I'm sure thats not a 'feature' of PHP4 ;)

It seems that the following causes parse errors

 # THIS PASSWORD HAS BEEN MD5'D 
and
 /* THIS PASSWORD HAS BEEN MD5'D */


Also errors parse errors appear for the following unless the apostrophes are escaped.

$query = "select * from $database where status = -1 and datesubmitted > '10/May/2000' order by status";

In PHP3 the 's never needed to be escaped. 
Has that changed or is this a bug?

The problem seems to be fixed now??????????

I have isntalled a few NT service packs and other updates
since I initalially found this bug. Maybe one of those fixed it.

Thanks for checking it anyway.
