PHP eval() fatal error

[Maarten Balliauw <php_news@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's the thing: I'm trying to do some dynamic code compilation within 
PHP using eval(). The code I'm trying to compile raises an E_ERROR (Fatal).

Here's a simple example:

<?php
$code = '  $returnValue = 12*A+;  '; // Clearly incorrect code :-)
$returnValue = 0;

eval($code);
?>

Now, I'd like to catch the error made by eval:

// ...
try {
  eval($code);
} catch (Exception $ex) {
  var_dump($ex);
}
// ...

Problem persists: a fatal error occurs.
Using set_error_handler() and set_exception_handler() is not working 
either...

Is there any way to gracefully catch this error?

Regards,
Maarten
