checking syntax

[cornout]

Is there a way to check syntax of a file with a PHP function (ie. not from the command line). I have some code that creates a php file and I would like to verify the syntax automatically as soon as it is created.

Thanks!

Upload it to a server and see if you get parse errors?

or

error() for PHP
die(mysql_error()) for MySQL

Hum. Cant find any php function error(). Because the code generates a bunch of PHP files, I don't want to check each one by hand each time I run this Meta-script.

Thanks for you help, but streln just gets the length of a string, even if I use it to find the lenght of my files that won't tell me if the syntax is valid.
