syntax checking before commit; possible ?

["J. Bakshi" <jo...@infoservices.in>]

Dear list,

My post-commit hook is running well and automatically update the
concerned  htdocs directory so that the change can be reflected in
apache whenever a commit is applied.  Sometimes there are some syntax
error in the php file and as a result the successful commit cause error
in apache level. Obviously it is not a svn related issue; but it would
be great if a mechanism is there to check the syntax before committing
and deny the commit if there is any such syntax error.  I don't know the
actual process but is there anything which can be done through a hook
maybe pre-commit hook ?
Please enlighten me.
Thanks

Absolutely, you could write a pre-commit hook to do that. Examples  
have been posted to this list before.

There's even a script in the official Subversion repository that  
syntax-checks php files, so you could probably use that without  
modification. See this prior discussion thread:
