brackets are used for other controll structures as well, so disabling
nested functions do not solve the problem. ->bogus

If you have a missing close-bracket "}" somewhere in your code, the PHP
parser tells you that the error is at the last line. If you have a
multi-hundred or thousand line file, this makes life a bitch.
Rasmus tells me that the reason for this behavior is because functions
can be nested, which means that:
function a
{
function b
{
}
}
is OK. This is a silly feature. Why do you have it, for scoping
reasons? It means that you can't effectively tell where syntax errors
occur.
Suggestion: Either make nested functions turned off by default but you
can turn them on with a PHP global variable, like
$PHP_BIZARRO_NESTED_FUNCTIONS = 1;
or
have the parser syntax set up so that it marks where a possible syntax
error occurred (IOW it sees a possible nested function, but it could
also be a syntax error), and if it reaches the end of the file with a
missing "}" or two, that it displays the location where it parsed the
nested function.
