Prettier inserts a syntax error when there is a comment after an if statement

[Pawel-Bakalarz]

When prettier is used via command line or via VSCode shortcut, prettier inserts an extra <?php string, creating a syntax error.

Input:

<?php if (true): // example comment
  ?>
  <h1>Heading</h1>
<?php endif; ?>

Output:

<?php if (true):<?php
  // example comment
  ?>
  <h1>Heading</h1>
<?php endif; ?>

This behavior, however, is not present within the reporting tool, where the output is as expected: @prettier/plugin-php v0.25.0

The .prettierrc file:

{
  "useTabs": false,
  "tabWidth": 2,
  "trailingComma": "es5",
  "semi": true,
  "singleQuote": true,
  "arrowParens": "avoid",
  "printWidth": 120,
  "plugins": ["@prettier/plugin-php"]
}

• Prettier version: 3.8.3
• PHP Plugin version: 0.25.0

Further information

This issue only happens when a comment is right after an if statement, and the comment is the last thing inside the php block. Here are examples of cases where the code is formatted correctly:

<?php
// example comment
if (true): ?>
  <h1>Heading</h1>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php
$test = 'Foo';
if (true):
  // example comment
  $test = 'Bar'; ?>
  <h1>Heading</h1>
<?php
endif; ?>

Those examples are after they were formatted using the command line prettier.

The second example is somewhat questionable, as I suspect the endif statement should not be moved to a new line - before the formatting happened it was in a single line, like in the first example.
