Description:
The parser chokes on the first case in switch statment if the switch and case statements are separately script-delimited.

Error message:
Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_CASE' or `T_DEFAULT' or `'}''

Example:

<? switch( $item["type"] ) { ?>
  <? case "copy": ?>    <- CHOKES ON THIS LINE
    <?= $item["copy"] ?><br>
    <? break; ?>
  <? case "tidbit": ?>
    <? $item["tidbit"]->WriteHTML(); ?>
    <? break; ?>
  ...
<? } ?>


Removing the ?> <? between the switch and first case, like this, works:

<? switch( $item["type"] ) {
  case "copy": ?>
    <?= $item["copy"] ?><br>
    <? break; ?>
  <? case "tidbit": ?>
    <? $item["tidbit"]->WriteHTML(); ?>
    <? break; ?>
  ...
<? } ?>


Thanks, you guys rock!
