Works fine:

[derick@kossu derick]$ php
<?
if (true){
    echo ("");//Here should be repoorted the syntax error('expecting }' or
bug();
?>

Parse error: parse error in - on line 6
-(6) : Parse error - parse error
[derick@kossu derick]$ php -v

And BTW: just fix the code; if PHP can not parse it the parser goes into an unstable state. Not really a bug.

Another interesting thing:
----example 1----
<?if (true){
    echo("");
-----------------
-Parser says-
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in [file] on line 2

----example 1----
<?if (true){
    echo();
-----------------
-Parser says-
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ')' in [file] on line 2

what's that?????

When the parser says that there would be a char, which is obviously not present in the entire script i call it a bug. And "just fix the code" is easier said than done: When the parser says that there would be an unexpected char in the last line - which is an empty one (and the 190th) - "just" means a work of hours for nothing - for a bug which is "Not really a bug".
Please fix that bug.
