Bug description:No error/warning for data after missing semicolon after break statement

Description:
------------
If you forget the semicolon after a 'break' statement. Almost all
characters up to the next ; is ignored. Hence you won't get a error message
about the problem.

For example, if you set a variable immediately after a mistake like this.
You might be wondering for a long time of why the variable is not set.

Test script:
---------------
<?

if (0)
 break

$variable1 = 'hey';
$variable2 = 'ho';

print "Variable1 = $variable1\n";
print "Variable2 = $variable2\n";

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Error message

Actual result:
--------------
Variable1 = 
Variable2 = ho
