This leads to too many conflicts. For instance what should this code do:
if (condition()) echo foo(), bar();
right now it prints the returned values from foo() and bar(). This can't be
easily distinguished from your syntax. There are other similar cases. Such
special case syntax also makes the language more complex with more special
cases to mind.

Description:
------------
Allow statements to be separated by commas in single line if statements (when
omitting the braces)
Test script:
---------------
if ( isset($_GET['take_me_there']) )
header('location: /you_are_here.php'), exit;
Expected result:
----------------
The client would be redirected to www.yoursite.com/you_are_here.php and the
script would terminate execution.
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in /opt/lampp/htdocs/test.php on line
2
