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

A leading zero means octal, which only uses digits 0-7. In PHP 7 invalid octal numbers became a parse error.
