The 'actual' code I got this error on was:
echo 1.str_repeat('sometext', 3);
Also resulting in Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

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

1. is a floating point literal, so what you have there is a float followed by a string (with nothing in between), which give you the error. We can't really fix this unless we remove the short floating point syntaxes (1. and .1). I don't think we will do that (just for BC reasons already).
