Thank you for reading the documentation, but while the sentence you identified does explain that you can no longer handle parse errors with set_error_handler(), the sentence immediately before it told you the new behavior: > As of PHP 7, if there is a parse error in the evaluated code, eval() throws a > ParseError exception. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-11-13 17:03:39] mageia at mokraemer dot de I thought eval solves the problem, but it is not. The changed behaviour of eval "Before PHP 7, in this case eval() returned FALSE and execution of the following code continued normally. It is not possible to catch a parse error in eval() using set_error_handler()." makes it impossible to check for syntax errors and handle them apropriate! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-10-16 23:39:51] mageia at mokraemer dot de sorry, I didn't see your comment. You're right, eval solves my problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-10-16 23:16:53] mageia at mokraemer dot de is there any advice on how to check syntax inside php? For user contributed code, I really want to check the syntax before using the code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-08-26 22:47:55] requinix@php.net * https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
