Description:
------------
I'm in the process of converting VBA code into PHP (lots of fun).  In the process of debugging a class and I'm get the following error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in F:\mailing list\1ststrawCMS\mysql\scripts\CContact.inc on line 1187

I comment out the offeding lines and still get the error. I have tried //, /* */ and # and still get the error.

I have included the offending lines below.  Let me know if more informantion is needed. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
If ($this->prefix != $v->Getprefix()) :
   If (strlen($strSQL1) > 0) :
      $strSQL1 += ", ";
   else:
      $strSQL1 = "SET ";
   endif;
   If ($v->Getprefix() = "") :
     $strSQL1 += "prefix = null";
/* else:   THIS IS LINE 1186
     $strSQL1 += "prefix = '$v->Getprefix()'"; */
   endif;
endif;
BLAH

Expected result:
----------------
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in F:\mailing list\1ststrawCMS\mysql\scripts\CContact.inc on line 1190


Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in F:\mailing list\1ststrawCMS\mysql\scripts\CContact.inc on line 1187
