ParseError

(PHP 7, PHP 8)

Introduction

ParseError is thrown when an error occurs while parsing PHP code, such as when eval() is called.

Note: ParseError extends CompileError as of PHP 7.3.0. Formerly, it extended Error.

The priority of Parse Error should be higher than that of Fatal Error,Parse Error, which has the highest priority among all PHP exceptions. See the following example:
<?php
error_reporting
(E_ALL);
test()
//System output a parse error
?>
<?php
error_reporting
(E_WARNING);
test()
//System output a parse error
?>
<?php
error_reporting
(E_ERROR);
test()
//System output a parse error
?>
<?php
error_reporting
(E_PARSE);
test()
//System output a parse error
?>

<?php
/*
* The function eval() evaluate his argument as an instruction PHP
* Then the argument must respect the standar of PHP codage
* In this example the semicolon are missign
*/

try{

eval(
"echo 'toto' echo 'tata'");

}catch(
ParseError $p){

echo
$p->getMessage();
}

/*
* If you run this code the result is different of the result of above code
* PHP will output the standar parse Error: syntax error, ....
*

eval("echo 'toto' echo 'tata'");
