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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
