break may have a parameter. In your case it is the return value of
$variable1 = 'hey'; which is the string 'hey'

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
