php files without ending php tag

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If you compress a php file that doesn't close the <?php tag, the compresor will 
mess the php code between the last <?php and the end of the file.

I expect that the compresor know that every thing between  <?php and the end of 
the file is php code

I'll try to use an user pattern but It still fails
<\?php[^(\?>)]*$

I know the files I attach don't have html so it's useless to compress them, I I 
choose this ones because this ones are smaller and show the problem.

Any other ideas how to rectify this problem? 

I purposely leave out the ending PHP tag ?> in purely PHP files in order to 
save space (granted it's not much but it's a habit now). --preserve-php is 
ignored in this scenario.

PHP comments are also not removed and there seems to be no option to remove 
them, only HTML ones

Thanks

Try this regexp:

(?si)<\?php.+?\?>                                                               
(?si)<\?php.*\Z
