I'm trying to figure out a way to make sure an included PHP file has no syntax errors before actually including it as a part of project. Is this even possible? I'm running into brick walls.

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking for, but occasionally I have an include file that just brings functions and sometimes I want to know if that file has any errors in it. As such, I simply add echo('a'); at the beginning of the file. If I run the script that includes that include and see an 'a' printed at the top of the page, then I know that the include has no syntax errors. Then it's simple to comment out that line.
