<para>
Performs a syntax (lint) check on the specified
<parameter>filename</parameter> testing for scripting errors.
</para>
<para>
This is similar to using <command>php -l</command> from the <link
linkend="features.commandline">commandline</link> except that this
function will execute (but not output) the checked
<parameter>filename</parameter>.
</para>
<para>
For example, if a function is defined in <parameter>filename</parameter>,
this defined function will be available to the file that executed
<function>php_check_syntax</function>, but output from
<parameter>filename</parameter> will be suppressed.
</para>
<note>
<!-- See PHP bug #27406 for details on this suppression -->
<para>
For technical reasons, this function is deprecated and removed from PHP.
Instead, use <literal>php -l somefile.php</literal> from the
<link linkend="features.commandline">commandline</link>.
