Bug description: Strange switch-case behaviour
Description:
------------
Hi there
This is a very minor bug concerning the structure of a source code rather
than its functionality. It's been dealt with in Bug #13387, yet the case
was closed back then when it seems to have been fixed in 4.2.0-dev. It's
back in 4.3.3.
Here are some examples:
Example 1, okay:
<?php switch ($var): ?>
<?php case 1: ?>
<?php dothis() ?>
<?php endswitch ?>
Example 2, okay:
<?php switch ($var) { ?>
<?php case 1: ?>
<?php dothis() ?>
<?php } ?>
Example 3, syntax error:
<?php switch ($var): ?>
<?php case 1: ?>
<?php dothis() ?>
<?php endswitch ?>
The parser doesn't seem to like whitespace in HTML between switch and
case.
When mixing PHP and HTML code, the syntax in example 3 can improve
readablility.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php $var = 1 ?>
<?php switch ($var): ?>
<?php case 1: ?>
<?php print $var ?>
<?php endswitch ?>
Expected result:
----------------
1
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_ENDSWITCH' or `T_CASE' or
`T_DEFAULT' in .../test.php on line 4
