  <para>
   Performs a syntax (lint) check on the specified 
   <parameter>filename</parameter> testing for scripting errors.
  </para>
  <para>
   This is similar to using <command>php -l</command> from the <link
   linkend="features.commandline">commandline</link> except that this
   function will execute (but not output) the checked
   <parameter>filename</parameter>.
  </para>
  <para>
   For example, if a function is defined in <parameter>filename</parameter>,
   this defined function will be available to the file that executed 
   <function>php_check_syntax</function>, but output from 
   <parameter>filename</parameter> will be suppressed.
  </para>
  <note>
   <!-- See PHP bug #27406 for details on this suppression -->
   <para>
    For technical reasons, this function is deprecated and removed from PHP.
    Instead, use <literal>php -l somefile.php</literal> from the 
    <link linkend="features.commandline">commandline</link>.
