catch Parse error: syntax error ?

[eluser]NogDog[/eluser]
Parse errors occur and are processed by PHP before any of your application code - including error handlers - is executed; so the only way you can control their processing to any extent is via the PHP environment, either through php.ini settings and/or .htacess php_value/php_flag settings. (And of course many editors/IDEs have built-in syntax error-checking which obviates the need to trap them by actually running the script on the test/production host.)
