php_check_syntax

(PHP 5 <= 5.0.4)

php_check_syntax — 检查PHP的语法（并执行）指定的文件

说明

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

对指定的 filename 进行语法检查，检测脚本的错误。

此函数除了会执行（但不会输出）filename，其他与 命令行中使用php -l 相似。

例如，如果函数在文件 filename 中被定义了，则该函数在执行php_check_syntax()后可用。但是filename输出内容不会被输出。

Note:

因为某些技术原因，该函数已被弃用，并且从PHP中移除了。请以commandline使用 php -l somefile.php取而代之。

参数

filename

需要被检测的文件。

error_message

如果使用了参数 error_message，它会包含语法检测出的错误信息。 error_message 以 引用方式传递。

返回值

如果语法检测通过返回 TRUE，未通过或者文件无法打开则返回 FALSE。

更新日志

版本 说明
5.0.5 函数从PHP中移除。
5.0.3 php_check_syntax()之后调用 exit() 会导致一个段错误。
5.0.1 error_message 通过引用传递

范例

php -l somefile.php

以上例程的输出类似于：

PHP Parse error: unexpected T_STRING in /tmp/somefile.php on line 81

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:

Hi again, here is my last contribution to the subject : this php_syntax_error() function returns false if there is no syntax error in $code, or an array($message, $line) if there is one (idea borrowed from kevin's code) .

For exemple, php_syntax_error(' DELIBERTE PHP ERROR; ') returns array('unexpected T_STRING', 1) ;)

Please note that the dead code sandbox IS important. A "return" at the beginning of the evaluated string can easily be broken: try eval('return; function strlen(){}') versus eval('if(0){function strlen(){}}').

<?php

function php_syntax_error($code)
{
    $braces = 0;
    $inString = 0;

    // First of all, we need to know if braces are correctly balanced.
    // This is not trivial due to variable interpolation which
    // occurs in heredoc, backticked and double quoted strings
    foreach (token_get_all('<?php ' . $code) as $token)
    {
        if (is_array($token))
        {
            switch ($token[0])
            {
            case T_CURLY_OPEN:
            case T_DOLLAR_OPEN_CURLY_BRACES:
            case T_START_HEREDOC: ++$inString; break;
            case T_END_HEREDOC:   --$inString; break;
            }
        }
        else if ($inString & 1)
        {
            switch ($token)
            {
            case '`':
            case '"': --$inString; break;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            switch ($token)
            {
            case '`':
            case '"': ++$inString; break;

            case '{': ++$braces; break;
            case '}':
                if ($inString) --$inString;
                else
                {
                    --$braces;
                    if ($braces < 0) break 2;
                }

                break;
            }
        }
    }

    // Display parse error messages and use output buffering to catch them
    $inString = @ini_set('log_errors', false);
    $token = @ini_set('display_errors', true);
    ob_start();

    // If $braces is not zero, then we are sure that $code is broken.
    // We run it anyway in order to catch the error message and line number.

    // Else, if $braces are correctly balanced, then we can safely put
    // $code in a dead code sandbox to prevent its execution.
    // Note that without this sandbox, a function or class declaration inside
    // $code could throw a "Cannot redeclare" fatal error.

    $braces || $code = "if(0){{$code}\n}";

    if (false === eval($code))
    {
        if ($braces) $braces = PHP_INT_MAX;
        else
        {
            // Get the maximum number of lines in $code to fix a border case
            false !== strpos($code, "\r") && $code = strtr(str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $code), "\r", "\n");
            $braces = substr_count($code, "\n");
        }

        $code = ob_get_clean();
        $code = strip_tags($code);

        // Get the error message and line number
        if (preg_match("'syntax error, (.+) in .+ on line (\d+)$'s", $code, $code))
        {
            $code[2] = (int) $code[2];
            $code = $code[2] <= $braces
                ? array($code[1], $code[2])
                : array('unexpected $end' . substr($code[1], 14), $braces);
        }
        else $code = array('syntax error', 0);
    }
    else
    {
        ob_end_clean();
        $code = false;
    }

    @ini_set('display_errors', $token);
    @ini_set('log_errors', $inString);

    return $code;
}

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.

My previous code was buggy sorry, here is an update (thanks phprockstheworld). I can't find a way to break the dead code sandbox. Who can ?

<?php

function eval_syntax($code)
{
    $braces = 0;
    $inString = 0;

    // We need to know if braces are correctly balanced.
    // This is not trivial due to variable interpolation
    // which occurs in heredoc, backticked and double quoted strings
    foreach (token_get_all('<?php ' . $code) as $token)
    {
        if (is_array($token))
        {
            switch ($token[0])
            {
            case T_CURLY_OPEN:
            case T_DOLLAR_OPEN_CURLY_BRACES:
            case T_START_HEREDOC: ++$inString; break;
            case T_END_HEREDOC:   --$inString; break;
            }
        }
        else if ($inString & 1)
        {
            switch ($token)
            {
            case '`':
            case '"': --$inString; break;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            switch ($token)
            {
            case '`':
            case '"': ++$inString; break;

            case '{': ++$braces; break;
            case '}':
                if ($inString) --$inString;
                else
                {
                    --$braces;
                    if ($braces < 0) return false;
                }

                break;
            }
        }
    }

    if ($braces) return false; // Unbalanced braces would break the eval below
    else
    {
        ob_start(); // Catch potential parse error messages
        $code = eval('if(0){' . $code . '}'); // Put $code in a dead code sandbox to prevent its execution
        ob_end_clean();

        return false !== $code;
    }
}
