PHP syntax highlighting breaks on single quoted strings that end with escaped backslash

[gszymaszek]

Consider the following simple PHP code:

<?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
$a = 'xxxx\';
echo $a, PHP_EOL;
