## #24102 — Sebastian Bergmann — 2006-06-13T05:15:56+00:00

URL: https://externals.io/message/24102#24102

I am baffled by this warning:

   Warning: Unexpected character in input:  '' (ASCII=27) state=1 in
   /usr/local/src/PHPUnit2/Util/Report/Coverage/Node/File.php on line 182

 The line reported is

   $tokens = token_get_all('<?php ' . $line . ' ?>');

 Any idea what is going wrong here? This is current PHP_5_2.

Try opening the suspect file in a hex editor, or some editor which won't
hide special characters (e.g. ASCII 27) from you. I think you'll find
that one has somehow wound its way in there. Either that, or current
PHP_5_2 is messed up in some way =)

 Sorry for the noise, it turned out that is caused by escape sequences in
 the code that my code analyzes using `token_get_all()`.
