php bug? strange end of php file error

Why this code

function X()
{
// echo("commented ?>");
}
X();
?>

give the error
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end"

???

?> is into a string commented!

no, it is not. There's no "strings" inside comments, comment is a stream
of characters and does take ?> into account. I don't think this is a
good idea either, but so is it.

Yet again, this has nothing to do with if you have quotes inside
comments or not. "/* blah ?> */" doesn't break out of php mode, "// blah
?>" or "# blah ?>" do. A bit odd in my opinion, but this is how it's
intended to work (see Language/Comments in manual).
