1. My host does not allow command line access and has disabled shell execution of PHP; 2. Error reporting has been turned off and I can't seem to turn that on with ini_set or error_reporting (which is fun when I have minor syntax errors to fix); and 3. My host is also stuck in PHP 4.3, so the check_syntax function isn't available to me either (although I understand that this function has been deprecated in the most recent builds of PHP).
To be quite honest, your host sounds like it sucks donkey dick. Get another if you can.
At this point, I'll just use file_exists and is_readable for some basic checking, and hope that the included files have no syntax errors.
Hoping something works leads you down the path of severely broken code. -- Richard Heyes Employ me: http://www.phpguru.org/cv -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
