[PHP] Bug? ... and commenting them out

[Stefan]

i've the dump feeling there's a bug in the parser (or in my mind =) 
since i tried to commenting out some code, containing <? ... ?>. The 
according code was something like ...

--- begin
//$xml = "<? ?>";
--- end
the occured error is ...
--- begin
Parse error:  parse error, unexpected $ in <b>uninteresting</b> on line 
<b>154</b>
--- end

... where 154 the document's last line.
# for comment it out either, whereby /* ... */ works fine (as excepted). 
Seems like the parser doesn't parse the quotes in the statement, but 
parses the <? .. ?> tags. So <? ... ?> has an higher specifity than the 
comment itself.

PHP Version is 5.0.1. Can anybody reproduce the "problem" (deleting the 
line fixes it ;o), or find out, wheter ignoring the comment is the 
desired behaviour?

regards, Stefan Bolus
