4060	PHP syntax highlighting breaks on single quoted strings that end with escaped backslash	gszymaszek	andrew_b	"Consider the following simple PHP code:
{{{#!php
<?php
$a = 'Aaa\\';
echo $a, PHP_EOL;
}}}

There’s an escaped backslash in the `$a` string, so that the code would print:
{{{
Aaa\
}}}

mcedit doesn’t see the escaped backslash, it sees an escaped quotation mark and thinks that the rest of the code is still that `$a` string:
{{{#!php
<?php
$a = 'xxxx\';
echo $a, PHP_EOL;
}}}
