note 123468 added to class.parseerror

So, I make cache files that don't finish writing completely sometimes resulting in parse errors. php_check_syntax worked back in the day (PHP 5 < 5.0.5) but now doing exec('php -l ' . $file); seems dirty. Any better way to do this in PHP 6? I see in PHP 7 it can be caught but 6 is high and dry.
