 [2017-11-23 15:58 UTC] software at nano dot net dot tr
Description:
------------
OS is Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
PHP package is 7.1.11-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 installed from http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu

While using token_get_all() with TOKEN_PARSE flag; if tested code block has syntax error, then process killed with "Parse error: syntax error".
Example: https://3v4l.org/05lUI




Test script:
---------------
<?php
// Syntax error: tested code has a space between equal signs
$tokens=token_get_all('<?php if($foo= =$bar) {}', TOKEN_PARSE);
var_dump($tokens); // not printed on error

Expected result:
----------------
function returns (FALSE) or throws a catchable error. script continues to run. error could be checked/catched with if, try-catch or error handler.

Actual result:
--------------
script dies with error: (Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in  on line 1)

token_get_all() errors are catchable using catch(ParseError $e).

Thanks for information.

There is not anything in manual about this behaviour.

For example in EVAL manual it writes;
"...As of PHP 7, if there is a parse error in the evaluated code, eval() throws a ParseError exception..."

Is it possible to add something like this to token_get_all manual page too?

the big change in PHP7 is that you can catch *everyting* with catch(Throwable $exception)

http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php

Parse errors throw ParseError
Parser errors now throw a ParseError object. Error handling for eval() should now include a catch block that can handle this error.
