Hi I really don't know anything about PHP.  Can you point out the line
number (and line content) of an example of this in
/usr/local/share/vim/vim73/syntax/php.vim?

I found /usr/local/share/doc/antiword/antiword.php on my system and am
assuming it is an OK example of a PHP file.  Syntax colouring works OK
with Vim 7.3.121 (non-lite).  Have you tried the non-lite build?

So that I know what to look at, can you also send the error messages you
are seeing (and any required file(s) to reproduce the issue?
