This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation

error, unexpected ')

This is fixed in 5.3 with a new parser. This won't be fixed in 5.2.
Maybe the doc team wants to add it to the documentation.

Description:
------------
This probably is a known effect, but I will just open a bug so it can be
documented as such:
When you end a file with a PHP open tag '<?php', and there is no
character beyond the tag the parser chokes with an 'unexpected $end'
parse error.
Curiously, a short tag '<?' (if enabled) used in such a way raises no
error.
This effect is of course also seen when you eval a string containing an
PHP open tag at the end of the string. (from there I originally stumbled
on this behaviour)
In PHP 5.3 the code behaves as expected, so someone probably already
spotted this one, or fixed the parser to be less nitty.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
Expected result:
----------------
Nothin
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in test.php on line 1
