<simpara>
The <function>php_check_syntax</function> function performs a syntax
(lint) check on the specified <parameter>filename</parameter> testing
for scripting errors. This is similar to using <command>php -l</command>
from the <link linkend="features.commandline">commandline</link>.
</simpara>
<simpara>
If the <parameter>error_message</parameter> parameter is used, it will
contain the error message generated by the syntax check. <parameter>error_message
</parameter> is passed by <link linkend="language.references">
reference</link>.
</simpara>
<para>
The following example shows how this function can be used.
<example>
<title><function>php_check_syntax</function> example</title>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
$error_message = "";
$filename = "./tests.php";
if(!php_check_syntax($filename, $error_message)) {
printf("Errors were found in the file %s:\n\n%s\n", $filename, $error_message);
} else {
printf("The file %s contained no syntax errors.", $filename);
}
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
<simpara>
The output of the above script could look something like this:
</simpara>
<screen>
<![CDATA[
Errors were found in the file ./tests.php:
parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /tmp/tests.php on line 81
]]>
</screen>
