Can I use php to check whether a php file's syntax is iegal or not

[Reeze]

Hi, All!

I wrote a simple template engine, it compile my template to php
file like Smarty does, but sometimes, the compiled php file syntax is
illegal, so how can I catch this "exception" in PHP.

Thanks

Best Regards
reeze.

$filename = '/tmp/phpfile.php';

$output = exec('/usr/bin/php -l $filename');

if($output != 'syntax OK') {

 // you have an error, deal accordingly

}
