I think this is good and helpful. I've two suggestions though: - Add the token name in parenthesis at the end of the string - Add '' around the token strings Examples: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<<=' (T_SL_EQUAL) in Command line code on line 1 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '::' (T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM) in Command line code on line 1 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'quoted-string' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting identifier or '(' in Command line code on line 1 And we need to make sure to check for escaped < and > in HTML error messages :) cheers, Derick -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
