The string "PHP Lint" here refers to invoking php with the -l option,
which is documented as "lint mode": checking input files on PHP syntax. So
if this fails with parse errors, normal execution will also fail on those
same errors.

If I include() that file in an otherwise empty PHP script and execute
that, I also get the same parse error (PHP from wheezy). Are you sure that
it actually works?
