PHP_CompatInfo do not parse a strange PHP Syntax - Who can give me an explain ?

Hello all, I've recently receive a bug report [1] from William Meleyal about PHP_CompatInfo, who can not parse (currently with version 1.8.0) the Kohana PHP Framework v2.2 [2]. After a little analysis, the problem came from a file with a strange syntax (for me). The file "javascript" from the gmail module [3] has a syntax that I have some difficulty to understand. If someone could explain me I'll be happy ! Here are a bit of the code (syntax) that I cannot understand <?php echo $center, "\n" ?> A patch is on way to fix the PHP_CompatInfo parser and bug #14696 Laurent [1] http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=14696 [2] http://kohanaphp.com/ [3] Kohana_v2.2\modules\gmaps\views\gmaps\javascript.php The full code of "javascript.php" is : google.load("maps", "2.x", {"language" : "<?php echo substr(Kohana::config('locale.language.0'), 0, 2);?>"}); function initialize() {

    if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
        // Initialize the GMap
        <?php echo $map, "\n" ?>
        <?php echo $controls, "\n" ?>
        <?php echo $center, "\n" ?>
        <?php echo $options->render(1), "\n" ?>

    // Build custom marker icons
    <?php foreach($icons as $icon): ?>
    <?php echo $icon->render(1), "\n" ?>
    <?php endforeach ?>

        // Show map points
        <?php foreach($markers as $marker): ?>
        <?php echo $marker->render(1), "\n" ?>
        <?php endforeach ?>
    }

} google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize);
