Status: Closed Package: Scripting Engine problem
PHP Version: 4.3.5 OS: Linux
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
Under previous versions of PHP, calling include() on a file containing syntax errors did not cause script termination. This is in accordance with the documentation on include(). However, in 4.3.5, syntax errors in included files appear to cause script termination. Tested with 4.1.x, 4.2.x, and 4.3.1.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Two files are required to reproduce this bug:

1. test.php:
<?php
echo "including...<br>\n";
include 'test-error.php';
echo "done.<br>\n";
?>

2. test-error.php (intentionally contains a syntax error):
<?php
*
?>

Expected result:
----------------
It is expected that a syntax error will not cause script termination. Thus, the expected output is this:

including...

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '*' in /var/www/test-error.php on line 3
done.



Actual result:
--------------
including...

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '*' in /var/www/test-error.php on line 3



---
Notice that "done." is not printed, since script execution terminated on the include() line.
