#13993 [Com]: eval() parse errors not using error_handler

ID: 13993 Comment by: brad at info-link dot net Reported By: sbarnum at pointsystems dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Redhat Linux 7.1 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Any chance this might be changed? I'd like to catch the "call to undefined function" error without the script dying... Unless there is some other way to verify that a bit of php code is syntactically valid during script execution? The tokenizer exension doesn't seem to care about how the tokens are ordered...

My bad english explanation with a patch can be found at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=17731 Try it out and report any problems it can cause. Maybe we can get the fix in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-10 21:11:33] ben at qubed dot co dot nz I have the same problem - would be a very nice feature to be able to catch errors in eval statements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-10 15:00:10] sander@php.net Reopening as a feature-request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-10 12:24:47] sander@php.net Parse errors are never handled by set_error_handler(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-08 15:30:54] sbarnum at pointsystems dot com I'm trying to validate some dynamically generated PHP code using eval() set_error_handler('eval_error'); eval($php_code); restore_error_handler(); problem: if $php_code contains a parse error, the error is not reported using the eval_error() function, but uses the generic error handler. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13993&edit=1
