I am 99% sure this is a problem with your ruby binary. The update to  
PHP’s Validate Syntax was, that it was made to use Ruby.

As for having tried to update your ruby, 1) ensure that your ruby  
actually works, e.g. by doing ‘ruby -v’ in the Terminal, 2) ensure  
that TM actually runs your updated ruby see http://macromates.com/ 
textmate/manual/shell_commands#search_path -- the Validate Syntax  
uses shebang, so you don’t want to miss the paragraph marked  
Important near the bottom.
