Description:
------------
Bug #11447 REOPENED

when ther is html code between "switch" and the first "case" php reports this error: "Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_ENDSWITCH' or `T_CASE' or `T_DEFAULT'"

the problem occurs while indenting html+php code:

<html>
<body>
	<?switch ($a):?>
		<?case 0: echo "zero"; break;?>
		<?default: echo "one"; break;?>
	<?endswitch;?>
</body>
</html>

Reproduce code:
---------------
THIS WORKS:

<html>
<?switch ($a):?>
<?case 0: echo "zero"; break;?>
<?default: echo "one"; break;?>
<?endswitch;?>
</html>

THIS DOESN'T WORK:

<html>
<?switch ($a):?>
[space]<?case 0: echo "zero"; break;?>
<?default: echo "one"; break;?>
<?endswitch;?>
</html>



Expected result:
----------------
"zero"

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Read Zeev's response to the original bug report.

<? switch($var){ ?>
<? case "alpha":
  break;
}?>

should be equivalent to 

<? switch($var){ 
 print "\n"
 case "alpha":
  break;
}?>

so why does it work if this 

<? switch($var){ 
 print " "
 case "alpha":
  break;
}?>

does not work ?
