I'm running into brick walls. As far as I know, the only way to do that is via the CLI (or accessing the include file directly in the browser). Make sure that error_reporting is enabled and that it's set to report E_ALL if you want to really be sure your code is clean (i.e. - reporting unused, undefined, and uninstantiated variables, et cetera). Then, if done from a *nix command line, just type: php -l /path/to/include/file.php -- </Dan> --**-- Just being curious and lazy. The description of php -l in php.net says it executes the script to check it's syntax. Ok, but... It _executes_ the script as if I ran it directly? or just _checks_ it's syntax? There's a big difference in there. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
