Description:
------------
php -r "$config = include 'LocalConfiguration.php'"

fails with:

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting end of file in Command line code on line 1

even though the code itself is valid PHP that runs fine when executed from within a PHP file, e.g.:

config.php
<?php

$config = include 'LocalConfiguration.php';

?>

and then run:

php config.php

FYI: The file referenced above is a config file from the Typo3 CMS, where its config in stored in an array, e.g.:

https://forge.typo3.org/attachments/23893/LocalConfiguration.php

Actual OS used is "SunOS host 5.11 joyent_20180315T080815Z" with PHP from pkgsrc:

PHP 7.1.13 (cli) (built: Apr  8 2018 19:57:49) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.1.13, Copyright (c) 1999-2017, by Zend Technologies

Test script:
---------------
- download https://forge.typo3.org/attachments/download/23893/LocalConfiguration.php to a local directory

- in that same directory run:
 php -r "$config = include 'LocalConfiguration.php'"

Expected result:
----------------
same behavior regardless whether the PHP code is read/executed from a PHP file or executed via the command line using "php -r"

Actual result:
--------------
"php -r" execution fails with this code
