Description:
------------
Bug observed in 5.2.9. Shared hosting - can't upgrade. Review of changelog does not suggest a fix has been made.

Documentation stated HEREDOC closing line must be only text on line, but it also appears that the closing text MUST be followed by a new line. If the HEREDOC closes the file with no terminating /n, an error is produced. Addition of a 1-line comment in a following line clears the error (as does anything else that forces a newline - my editor strips trailing /n from the document).

I'm not sure if this is a documentation error or a scripting error as I don't know which way is intended behavior.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$v = <<<EOF
Anything, but there is nothing in the file following
the upcoming semicolon
EOF;

Expected result:
----------------
no output. Assigns variable.

Actual result:
--------------
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end"
