About the return value, I think it should return the error message or true on success. Then people could use === to check what they got (I prefer that over Markus' idea). Then again I'm not completely sure about it so it depends on what you think is the easiest.

P.S.-If you think php_strip_whitespace() is misleading then see if you can find a better name. I think php_strip() is just too short and will be confused with strip() (which doesn't exist but still...)

Here is the revised patch. It is now much cleaner (no more lexer stuff) and supports few additional features. By popular demand the functions have been renamed to php_check_syntax() & php_strip_whitespace().
php_check_syntax() can now handle remote scripts and if a 2nd (optional) argument is passe,d in the event of the parse error it'll contain the error message, file name & line number.
php_strip_whitespace() can now handle remote scripts the rest of the functionality remains the same.
