Description:
------------
Given a string that contains this PHP code:
<?php
$a = 2;
\;
$b = 3;
?>
Then highlight_string() generates this:
<?php
$a = 2;
Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in
/home/kjartan/scripts/highlight_string on line 9
;
$b = 3;
?>
Granted its not valid PHP, but should hightlight_string() function as a
PHP validation system? Not that it does a good job at it as this gets
colored just fine:
<?php
$a = 2
$b = 3
$c = 5
?>
What gives?
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$string = '<?php
$a = 2;
\
$c = 5;
?>';
highlight_string($string);
Expected result:
----------------
I expect it to just leave the \ alone and not cause warnings.
