If a PHP source file is saved with Mac line endings (each line ends with character 13 (0x0D) only) then any comment that starts with // and ends with a question mark such as:

// Comment?

will cause an error message to be output to the browser:

Parse error: parse error in /home/www/php/admin/syncdb.php on line 1

Note that the ? is NOT at the end of line 1 but can be anywhere in the script.

With either Unix line endings (0x0A) or PC line endings (0x0D + 0x0A) the problem does not occur.

The system is running apache 1.3.14 on a Linux (RedHat 6.0) i586 server.

This is not a bug in PHP.  If you are running your scripts on a Unix platform they must be terminated by a '\n' (0x0A).
