You will see the same effect for just about any scripting language. If
you miss a ) or a " somewhere in your script, the parser will parse right
to the end looking for the closing bracket or quote. Use a
syntax-highlighting text editor, and errors like these will stand out. Or
feed it through PHP's internal syntax highlighter by symlinking your file
to a .phps extension.
By the way, please try to improve the tone of your questions in the
future.
