User comments: 1) duplicated a file template for PHP (the original also doesn't work)
2) creating a new file using the wizard and this template
3) wizard says "unmatched braces in the pattern at position 13"
4) exception pops up

the created file stops before this line from template: "    function __construct()"
There aren't any replacements made at this time.
The template isn't using any placeholders except some ${name} tags.
I also can't find mismatched braces.
STACKTRACE: (first 10 lines)
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unmatched braces in the pattern at position 13
