Good idea, we already have some function that utilize php_ prefix, might as well continue with the trend. How about php_lint() & php_strip()?

I hate the name lint and strip is kind of too short. Why not keep it long like Hartmut suggested such as php_check_syntax(), php_strip_whitespace()?

Just for consistency, the -l help string says "Syntax check only (lint)" so php_syntax_check() might be less confusing. Also, -w strips more than whitespace... As I heavy user of both -l and -w I'm looking forward to seeing these functions builtin. That said, I'd prefer php_lint() since I know exactly what 'lint' means. Of course, it doesn't make much difference at this point since I already know what the function will do :) Hans
