PHP syntax highlighting in VIM

Question

When I enable syntax highlighting in vim, in PHP I get a red highlight on a semi-colon followed by a single or multiple line comment. I originally thought this was some conflict in vim, but my .vimrc only has syntax enable at this point and I still get the error.

ex://

<?php
require_once 'autoloader.php';

/* Initialize variables */

will display as: output

Has anyone else seen this?

No, it still gets the same highlighting error. It seems like there's an overzealous regex somewhere, but I don't know where it could be. Nothing is in the vimrc except syntax enable. — seagoj

What is interesting is it doesn't do it with echo "Output"; as the first line and if it's doing it, it doesn't matter how many blank lines are in between. — seagoj

It looks like the issue was with my copy of the php syntax file. I renamed ~/.vim/syntax/php.vim and things went back to normal.
