I'm not talking about wanting to test whether my code generates parse exceptions, I'm talking about testing whether the code that catches parse exceptions behaves correctly. e.g. Wordpress should be catching ParseExceptions (and other EngineExceptions) generated by plugins and reporting those plugins as being problematic. The code that handles those exceptions needs to tested that it behaves correctly, which requires the appropriate exception being generated when the test is run. Although people could use a nasty hack such as eval("<?php echo bar(};");, that seems moderately horrific. cheers Dan
