Indeed, it sometimes seems off but it makes sense if you know how the
PHP parser works.
For example, if you have this code:
<?php
if ($something) {
do_something();
} else {
do_something_else();
}
?>
And you delete the brace from the first line, you'll see that the
error is reported as being on line 6 though you might consider the
error to be on line 2. There isn't an error on line two because in
some circumstances you don't need braces after an if statement. The
parsing error happens on line 6 because that right closing brace is
not valid if there isn't a left opening brace before it. You'll see
similar issues where it's valid to omit semicolons.
Hope that helps,
