The CLI to php allows checking for syntax errors using php -l
I’ve
created a very basic script which will recursively check folders for php
files with syntax errors. It’s intended to quickly show syntax errors in
a large application. It’s available here:
https://github.com/JimMackin/PHPSyntaxCheck
Simply run it and pass the path to your app:
php phpsyntaxcheck.php /path/to/php/files
