Bug description: Problem with \ in single quotes ('abc\')
Description:
------------
It seems there is a small problem with the \ char in single quotes.
I think the char \ is *not* an escape char in single quotes, as
echo 'abc\x';
outputs
abc\x
But, the following code
echo 'abc\';
gives an error:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'
in x:\test.php on line 1
However, the code
echo 'abc\\';
has no runtime error and it outputs
abc\
but it should output (with two \ chars)
abc\\
Reproduce code:
---------------
echo 'abc\x';
echo 'abc\\';
echo 'abc\';
Expected result:
----------------
abc\x
abc\\
abc\
Actual result:
--------------
abc\x
abc\
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'
in x:\test.php on line 1
