Newsgroups php.bugs
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From:             spam2 at rhsoft dot net
Operating system: Linux
PHP version:      7.1.3
Package:          Scripting Engine problem
Bug Type:         Bug
Bug description:BOGUS: Fatal error: strict_types declaration must be the very first statement

Description:
------------
for cli scripts it's no problem to start with a #!/usr/bin/php shebang
followed by <?php declare(strict_types=1); as first line, in case of
mod_php the sample below throws "PHP Fatal error:  strict_types
declaration must be the very first statement in the script"

*it is* because PHP has no business to claim anything outside <?php ?>
as part of "the script"

Test script:
---------------
<html>
 <head><title>Test</title></head>
 <body>
<?php declare(strict_types=1);

?>
 </body>
</html>
