Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Error display ini setting affects all error reporting.

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.
