For technical reasons, this function is deprecated and removed from PHP. Instead, use php -l somefile.php from the commandline.
The php_check_syntax() function performs a syntax
(lint) check on the specified filename
testing
for scripting errors. This is similar to using php -l
from the commandline except
php_check_syntax() will execute (but not output)
the checked file_name
. For example, if a function
is defined in file_name
, this defined function will
be available to the file that executed
php_check_syntax(), but output from
file_name
will be suppressed.
file_name
The name of the file being checked.
error_message
If the error_message
parameter is used, it will
contain the error message generated by the syntax check.
error_message
is passed by
reference.
Returns TRUE if the lint check passed, and FALSE if the link check
failed or if file_name
cannot be opened.
