php syntax checker

[super_human]

Hey guys ,

Do any of you know a free php syntax checker?, kind of like a compiler which first complies the program to check for errors , if there are no errors then i run it.

I currently us notepad++, but it only highlights the php. I tried searching for a plugin regarding this but had no luck so far. Can you please suggest me a good php syntax checker?

Thanks in advance

Can you not just run the code locally?

I suppose you could use Codepad for testing.

There is also a php xdebug plugin http://amiworks.co.in/talk/debugging-php-using-xdebug-and-notepad-part-i/
Notepad++ already has the php syntax file, so it kinda knows how to highlight the code.
