#32066 [NEW]: display_errors=off also suppresses output from php -l

From: marcus at synchromedia dot co dot uk Operating system: RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 PHP version: 5.0.3 PHP Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Bug description: display_errors=off also suppresses output from php -l Description: ------------ In php5, if php.ini contains a display_errors=off directive, it also suppresses error details from 'php -l' on a command line. I guess this could be a deliberate change in pHP5, but it is really not very helpful as php -l will only ever be run by developers. This is in contrast to php4, which always shows errors from php -l, even if display_errors is off. Reproduce code: --------------- execute this script (containing a deliberate error) using php -l on a command line with display_errors turned off <?php print trim('hello'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in /home/ username/error.php on line 2 Actual result: -------------- no output is generated at all. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32066&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32066&r=mysqlcfg
