I use PHP's error checking in the php.ini.

These are my settings:

; Examples:
;
;   - Show all errors, except for notices and coding standards warnings
;
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
;
;   - Show all errors, except for notices
;
;error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE | E_STRICT
;
;   - Show only errors
;
;error_reporting = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR|E_ERROR| 
E_CORE_ERROR
;
;   - Show all errors, except coding standards warnings
;
;error_reporting  =  E_ALL

This throws syntax errors such as those you're trying to trap.  It  
will tell you the error, and the line it is on.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Michael Ward
