I've given it some thought and rewritten my function to take full advantage of the CLI -l option (that's lower L). It requires that you enable error reporting via your own php.ini file (which you should edit the function to apply) otherwise the return result is a worthless "Error parsing".
Anyway, I hope this is useful for someone. I'm sure it could use improvement, so use at your own risk. Demo here:

php_check_syntax
(PHP 5 < 5.0.5)
php_check_syntax — 指定したファイルの文法チェック（と実行）を行う
説明
php_check_syntax
( string
$filename
[, string &$error_message
] ) : bool
指定したファイル filename
に対して文法チェック (lint) を行い、スクリプトにエラーがないかどうかを調べます。
これは コマンドライン
から php -l を利用するのと似ていますが、
php_check_syntax() は実際に filename
を実行します (結果は出力しません)。
たとえば、もし filename の中で関数が
定義されていた場合に php_check_syntax()
はそれを実行しますが、filename の
結果は表示されません。
注意:
技術的な理由により、この関数は廃止され、PHP から削除されました。 かわりに、コマンドライン から
php -l somefile.phpを利用してください。
パラメータ
-
filename -
調べるファイルの名前。
-
error_message -
error_messageパラメータが指定された場合、 文法チェックの際に生成されたエラーメッセージがここに格納されます。error_messageは 参照で渡されます。
返り値
文法チェックが成功した場合に TRUE 、チェックが失敗したり
file_name がオープンできなかった場合に
FALSE を返します。
変更履歴
| バージョン | 説明 |
|---|---|
| 5.0.5 | この関数は PHP から削除されました。 |
| 5.0.3 | php_check_syntax() の後に exit() をコールするとセグメンテーションフォールトが発生します。 |
| 5.0.1 |
error_message が参照渡しになりました。
|
例
php -l somefile.php
上の例の出力は、 たとえば以下のようになります。
PHP Parse error: unexpected T_STRING in /tmp/somefile.php on line 81

While developing an app where I have to include PHP files written by a user, I came across the following problem:
I used "php -l somefile.php" to check the syntax of the file I was about to include and if it passed, I would include it - so far so good. But in some test cases, the file I was including would have other includes/requires inside it. If one of these was invalid, then I would still get the parse error that I was trying to avoid.
I got round it using this:
<?php
function CheckSyntax($fileName, $checkIncludes = true)
{
// If it is not a file or we can't read it throw an exception
if(!is_file($fileName) || !is_readable($fileName))
throw new Exception("Cannot read file ".$fileName);
// Sort out the formatting of the filename
$fileName = realpath($fileName);
// Get the shell output from the syntax check command
$output = shell_exec('php -l "'.$fileName.'"');
// Try to find the parse error text and chop it off
$syntaxError = preg_replace("/Errors parsing.*$/", "", $output, -1, $count);
// If the error text above was matched, throw an exception containing the syntax error
if($count > 0)
throw new Exception(trim($syntaxError));
// If we are going to check the files includes
if($checkIncludes)
{
foreach(GetIncludes($fileName) as $include)
{
// Check the syntax for each include
CheckSyntax($include);
}
}
}
function GetIncludes($fileName)
{
// NOTE that any file coming into this function has already passed the syntax check, so
// we can assume things like proper line terminations
$includes = array();
// Get the directory name of the file so we can prepend it to relative paths
$dir = dirname($fileName);
// Split the contents of $fileName about requires and includes
// We need to slice off the first element since that is the text up to the first include/require
$requireSplit = array_slice(preg_split('/require|include/i', file_get_contents($fileName)), 1);
// For each match
foreach($requireSplit as $string)
{
// Substring up to the end of the first line, i.e. the line that the require is on
$string = substr($string, 0, strpos($string, ";"));
// If the line contains a reference to a variable, then we cannot analyse it
// so skip this iteration
if(strpos($string, "$") !== false)
continue;
// Split the string about single and double quotes
$quoteSplit = preg_split('/[\'"]/', $string);
// The value of the include is the second element of the array
// Putting this in an if statement enforces the presence of '' or "" somewhere in the include
// includes with any kind of run-time variable in have been excluded earlier
// this just leaves includes with constants in, which we can't do much about
if($include = $quoteSplit[1])
{
// If the path is not absolute, add the dir and separator
// Then call realpath to chop out extra separators
if(strpos($include, ':') === FALSE)
$include = realpath($dir.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$include);
array_push($includes, $include);
}
}
return $includes;
}
?>
This checks as many of the includes inside the file as it possibly can without executing anything.
