You can use register_shutdown_function() [1] and error_get_last() [2] to
check if the last error type is one of the fatal errors. Here's a simple
example:
function shutdown() {
$error = error_get_last();
if ($error['type'] === E_ERROR) {
// fatal error has occured
}
}
register_shutdown_function('shutdown');
There are at least four fatal error types to check for. See [3] and [4] for
the list and links to more examples.

However, statically detectable issues such as parse errors should never get as far as a dynamic environment outside of your development machine, so I would question why you have this requirement. -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/
