Description:
------------
See the example and the result. There is a stray quote. There is a warning, but it should be a parse error, shouldn't it?


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
'
echo "Should we see this?\n";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Syntax error on line 2

Actual result:
--------------
andrey@whirlpool:~/dev/php6> ./php b.php
PHP Warning:  Unexpected character in input:  ''' (ASCII=39) state=1 in /home/andrey/dev/php6/b.php on line 2
Should we see this?

Doesn't look like a bug to me.
The lexer encounters unexpected character, reports about it (E_COMPILE_WARNING) and throws it away, continuing execution.
Surely it's possible to change this E_COMPILE_WARNING to E_COMPILE_ERROR, but I see no reasons to do it atm.

Closing as this was already fixed. The sample code now throws

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '' ' (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE) in /code/2qWahH on line 2

See http://codepad.viper-7.com/2qWahH.
