This is exactly the type of situation where E_PARSE really bothers me as
well.. Although no one likes eval(), and it seems to me it is become
more and more of a security-risk and less and less useful... The last
time I've actually seen it implemented in a useful way (that couldn't be
done in a better way) was in PHPLIB. Then again, maybe I'm not coding
things that would need such a function :)

What about require'd files?
Back on the note that I was discussing (the E_PARSE with a user
error-handler), Perhaps the issue can be slightly skirted without having
to code a whole lot... Specifically, what about simply re-directing the
user to another URL in the event of a fatal PHP error (as specified by a
directive)... Ie.
On_fatal_error=http://somewhere.com/error.php
Where on a E_PARSE, or something similar, PHP basically does a C-version
of:
<?php header("Location: http://somewhere.com/error.php?errno=4";); ?>
This way, users who don't care can still re-direct a browser to a nice
and pretty "sorry, the server is really screwed" HTML page... Or, if
they'd like, they can simply take that error number and create a
error-handler in PHP without us having to bother with the problems
surrounding a bad parser-state...
