Parsing problem

[ToH2002]

Hi,

i think there may be a definite bug in the parsing/highlighting engine, when it comes to escaping backslashes:

any code after the function (which is supposed to double backslashes in a string and to escape single quotes):

Code: Select all

function for_sql($val)
{
  return str_replace("'", "\'", str_replace('\', "\\\\", $val));
}


is treated as a string literal (green). this also means that any functions following this code will not be displayed in the code explorer - this is extremely inconvenient!

When I change the code to the equivalent:

Code: Select all

function for_sql($val)
{
  return str_replace("'", "\'", str_replace(chr(0x5C), chr(0x5C) .chr(0x5C), $val));
}


everything is displayed correctly, with the functions being listed in the code explorer.

But, of course, writing things this way is REALLY cumbersome: can this be fixed?

Thanx & Regards,

Torsten

Your function:

Code: Select all


function for_sql($val)
{
  return str_replace("'", "\'", str_replace('\', "\\\\", $val));
}



seems to produce php parser error:
parse error, unexpected $end in c:\web\file.php on line x

it is because \' is treated as ' (single quote is being escaped by \)

however there is aproblem with double \\ anyway, so I will take a look as time permits.
