Description
Highlighting seems completely broken (does not highlight) when there's a <?php tag and a heredoc with a ' character. Highlighting will work correctly if you remove the <?php tag or if you remove the ' character from the heredoc.
Code snippet
The code being highlighted incorrectly.
#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php
$heredoc = <<<END
A string with a single quote '
END;
$foo = 'bar';
