Lots of exceptions

<?php if($something_is_true){ ?>
<div style='border:1px solid
red;padding:20px;margin:20px;text-align:center'>
<?php } ?>

<?php if($something_else_is_true){ ?>
<div style='border:1px solid
blue;padding:20px;margin:20px;text-align:center'>
some content
</div>
<?php } ?>

<?php if($something_is_true){ ?>
some more content
</div>
<?php } ?>

OK, you may /never/ code like this. But that's not the point. ASs far
as an automated tool is concerned that is perfectly valid code.

I can't see how you could possibly check the validity of the code
without parsing the php
