PHP_CHECK_SYNTAX(3)							 1						       PHP_CHECK_SYNTAX(3)

php_check_syntax - Check the PHP syntax of (and execute) the specified file

SYNOPSIS

       bool php_check_syntax (string  $filename, [string  &$error_message])

DESCRIPTION

	Performs a syntax (lint) check on the specified $filename testing for scripting errors.

	This is similar to using php -l from the commandline except that this function will execute (but not output) the checked $filename.

	For example, if a function is defined in $filename, this defined function will be available to the file that executed php_check_syntax(3),
       but output from $filename will be suppressed.

       Note

	       For technical reasons, this function is deprecated and removed from PHP. Instead, use php -l somefile.php from the commandline.

PARAMETERS

	      o $filename
		- The name of the file being checked.

	      o $error_message
		- If the $error_message parameter is used, it will contain the error message generated by  the	syntax	check.	$error_message	is
		passed by reference.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE if the lint check passed, and FALSE if the link check failed or if $filename cannot be opened.

EXAMPLES

       php -l somefile.php

       The above example will output something similar to:

PARAMETERS

	      o $filename
		- The filename (URI) that's being requested.

RETURN VALUES

	An object of related URI information. The properties of this object are:

	      ostatus

	      othe_request

	      ostatus_line

	      omethod

	      ocontent_type

	      ohandler

	      ouri

	      ofilename

	      opath_info

	      oargs

	      oboundary

	      ono_cache

	      ono_local_copy

	      oallowed

	      osend_bodyct

	      obytes_sent

	      obyterange

	      oclength

	      ounparsed_uri

	      omtime

	      orequest_time

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      apache_lookup_uri(3) example

	      <?php
	      $info = apache_lookup_uri('index.php?var=value');
	      print_r($info);

	      if (file_exists($info->filename)) {
		  echo 'file exists!';
	      }
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      stdClass Object
	      (
		  [status] => 200
		  [the_request] => GET /dir/file.php HTTP/1.1
		  [method] => GET

		  [chunked] => 0
		  [content_type] => application/x-httpd-php
		  [no_cache] => 0
		  [no_local_copy] => 1
		  [unparsed_uri] => /dir/index.php?var=value
		  [uri] => /dir/index.php
		  [filename] => /home/htdocs/dir/index.php
		  [args] => var=value
		  [allowed] => 0
		  [sent_bodyct] => 0
		  [bytes_sent] => 0
		  [request_time] => 1074282764
