    As far as I know, the only way to do that is via the CLI 
(or accessing the include file directly in the browser).

    Make sure that error_reporting is enabled and that it's set 
to report E_ALL if you want to really be sure your code is 
clean (i.e. - reporting unused, undefined, and uninstantiated 
variables, et cetera).

    Then, if done from a *nix command line, just type:
        php -l /path/to/include/file.php

Just being curious and lazy. The description of php -l in php.net says it
executes the script to check it's syntax.

Ok, but... It _executes_ the script as if I ran it directly? or just
_checks_ it's syntax?

There's a big difference in there.
