I have been using WeBuilder for over a year (2010) and suddenly I'm having a problem. When I attempt a syntax check on a PHP script, instead of providing the appropriate error and highlighting the offensive line, I get the message "Ng [filename], where filename is the name of the script's file.
I've searched the forum and find references to this problem, but none seem to provide a fix that works for me. I have not installed a new version of PHP, nor have I even changed any .ini configurations. What I did do is, attempt to make tortoiseSVN to work with WeBuilder. However, the folder I attempted to make work with the SVN is not a folder from which I'm working.
How do I fix this? Help!
Thanks,
Merrill

Re: ng filename
Hi,
Maybe some settings have been corrupted; it is hard to tell..
Please try the self-installing package that contains everything you need to preview, check and debug PHP files.
http://www.blumentals.net/download/php.php
Close WeBuilder, then run the package, open WeBuilder again and then run the syntax checker. Is the problem still there?
Kind regards,
Gatis

Re: ng filename error when attempt syntax check on a PHP scr
Hi,
I have exactly the same issue (using RapidPHP 2014). For different reasons, I cannot install a different PHP package (using XAMPP right) now. This forced me to go back to PhpStorm, which is OK for large projects, but not for some lightweight development stuff
Best regards,
Bernhard

Re: ng filename error when attempt syntax check on a PHP scr
As far as I'm aware, this message is displayed by PHP commandline itself, not RapidPHP. It's being displayed when there is a configuration problem. Check what you have under Options -> PHP Settings -> Path to php.exe and try running it with some test script from commandline, do you get the same error? Maybe the problem is that path to php.exe is wrong (e.g. XAMPP includes multiple php.exe files and only one of them is configured or something like that).

Re: ng filename error when attempt syntax check on a PHP scr
Hello Aivars,
I found the issue. The path settings to the php.exe were correct.
The problem is with the "error_reporting" setting in php.ini. Depending on the setting, the syntax check (php.exe -l <file>) returns no (i.e. a blank) error message (in only returns the "Errors parsing <file>", but no actual syntax error message). I suspect in this case the "Ng <file>" dialog is shown in RapidPHP.
After changing the "error_reporting" in php.ini, the syntax check in RapidPHP showed the correct error message.
Now, my suggestion would be that RapidPHP include a new option "Ignore php.ini" (to add command line parameter "-n" for syntax checking, e.g. php.exe -nl <file>), so that changes in php.ini are not necessary just for syntax checking.
FYI, my current PHP version is 5.4.0

That's an excellent suggestion, we'll do some research about this parameter and see if we can use it.
