Unterminated strings are supported for several filetypes like C,
Python, Lua and some others. For example, the string in the printf
command in the following C code is highlighted with a different
background colour in Geany:
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
	printf("this is an unclosed quoted string
	");
	return 0;
}
Unfortunately, this doesn't work for PHP and Perl. But this is more a
Scintilla issue, so feel free to submit a feature request to the
Scintilla tracker[1].

Adding missing semicolon:
No. It's surely possible but I don't want to add something like
this because it is heavily dependent on the current filetype and would
take much efforts to implement. Furthermore it would probably slow down
Geany. Remember, Geany != Eclipse ;-).
