Description:
------------
Scripts containing namespaces fail with an error if the file is saved in encoding UTF-8, but works as expected when saved in encoding ANSI using Windows Notepad.

Only namespaces seem to be effected by this error.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

namespace
{
	print 'Hello World';
}


Expected result:
----------------
Hello World

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Namespace declaration statement has to be the very first statement in the script in C:\home\public_html\name.php on line 4

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

Quite likely you have a BOM in this PHP file. You need to configure your editor not to write those.
