PHP IntelliSense reports error/problem on <?=$a, $b;?> constructs (short echo syntax with commas):

[php] ';' expected.
[php] Unexpected ','

Screenshot:

• VSCode: 1.20 and lower.
• PHP IntelliSense: 2.2.7 and lower.
• Windows 7/10.

Do you have short tags enabled?

Yes. The 'php.executablePath' (and also 'php.validate.executablePath') option points to a working PHP 7 executable, and there is 'short_open_tag = On' option in 'php.ini' in this directory.
Short echo tags () are always enabled in PHP 5.4+ regardless of this option.

Just to be sure (because this issue has come up quite a few times and there can be multiple php.ini at play), could you run php -i and check? Where php is the php from php.executablePath

The output of php -i:

PHP Version => 7.2.0
Loaded Configuration File => D:\Work\PHP7\php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files => (none)
Additional .ini files parsed => (none)
...
short_open_tag => On => On

Related to #185 (tolerant-php-parser uses token_get_all() directly, which is affected by the short_open_tag setting.

EDIT: Never mind, <?= is always enabled.
