php_check_syntax
(PHP 5 < 5.0.5)
php_check_syntax — Check the PHP syntax of (and execute) the specified file
Description
$filename
[, string &$error_message
] ) : bool
Performs a syntax (lint) check on the specified
filename testing for scripting errors.
This is similar to using php -l from the commandline except that this
function will execute (but not output) the checked
filename.
For example, if a function is defined in filename,
this defined function will be available to the file that executed
php_check_syntax(), but output from
filename will be suppressed.
Note:
For technical reasons, this function is deprecated and removed from PHP. Instead, use php -l somefile.php from the commandline.
Parameters
-
filename -
The name of the file being checked.
-
error_message -
If the
error_messageparameter is used, it will contain the error message generated by the syntax check.error_messageis passed by reference.
Return Values
Returns TRUE if the lint check passed, and FALSE if the link check
failed or if filename cannot be opened.
