## #26091 — Matt W — 2006-10-19T04:05:24+00:00

Hi,

Probably not much chance of this happening, but while looking through HEAD's
lexer/parser code (which word is correct? :-)), I noticed that there's no
rule to match a backslash followed by a \n newline inside single quotes,
resulting in "Unexpected character in input ..."  The ST_SINGLE_QUOTE state
used to match this (as in 5.2), but was removed in version 1.132 of
zend_language_scanner.l.

Untested, but I think the attached patch should take care of it.


Matt
