Bug 357868

Build Identifier: I20110613-1736

In mixed PHP/HTML files, the validator will find errors that aren't errors and highlights the wrong parts of the file. For example, in an HTML section, <a onclick="return false;"> will generate an error on "return false;" that you cannot return outside a function or method. This would be a valid error if it were inside a PHP block. Another example: I have a <center> tag that generates an Element is obsolete error, but the <center> tag itself does not get marked for the error. Instead, the <center> tag is on line 31 at character 35 in this particular file, but the yellow squiggly starts on line 38 at character 14, which is in a PHP block. The squiggly continues, without a break, until line 195 character 129, which is inside a PHP block on a commented line.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new PHP file
2. Create an empty PHP block <?php ?>
3. Create a link with onclick return false <a onclick="return false;"></a>
4. "return false;" will generate an error
5. Delete the PHP block - the error will disappear
6. Add a PHP block below the link
7. "return false;" will generate an error again - this time the mark starts at the 'l' in false and continues through the '?' in <?php
