Basic Knowledge
Difference Between Syntax Errors and Runtime Errors
Syntax errors are mistakes in how code is written, such as missing semicolons or mismatched brackets, and can be detected mechanically before execution. Runtime errors, on the other hand, occur during execution, such as calling undefined functions or failing to read files, and are not caught by syntax checking.
How to Read Parse Errors
PHP syntax errors are reported in the form "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 〜". The line number shown indicates where the error was detected, but the actual cause often lies before that line, such as a missing semicolon or unclosed bracket on the previous line.
Safety and Privacy
Server-side processing
Input is processed on the server; only information necessary for the inquiry is sent.
Temporary processing only
For the PHP syntax check, temporary processing occurs on the server, then data is discarded after results are returned.
Communications encrypted with HTTPS
All sent and received data is encrypted by TLS and cannot be read by third parties.
No transmission to third parties
Input content is not sent to external services such as ad networks or trackers.
