Or a more general command to verify PHP code php_valid($code_str). That way the people who expect parse errors in their include files can do $code_str(implode("", file("include.inc"))); if (php_valid($code_str)) {

    include_once("include.inc");

} That would be hard, as the zend_compile function which runs the parse also adds the functions, so if the code parses it includes it right away. Again, for this one we _could_ not abort the script, but in the case of include files I'd like to see it die hard again. eval() is something different in a logical way, but the implementation in the zend engine is about the same.

Since there is '-l'int in the cli, how about a lint function? At least then, you can verify includes before including them and take any action you want, including mail(). In a well designed application, you would be able to act on any parse error, but the 'main' file. Of course this won't work with 'require'.
