Req #62544 [NEW]: A function alternative to "php -l"

From: narf at bofh dot bg Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:A function alternative to "php -l" Description: ------------ Currently, there's no way to do a syntax check from within a script (unless we do something like /usr/bin/php -l /path/to/script.php) and there deffinately are use cases for such a feature. Considering that the actual checking logic is already available, it shouldn't be hard at all to make a function alternative to it. Here's what the function description would look like: bool php_syntax_check( string $target [, bool $raw_code = FALSE] ) $target is the script file path, unless $raw_code is set to TRUE. In the latter case - $target is raw php code, as it would be passed to eval(). -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62544&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62544&r=mysqlcfg
