Question

Answer 1

From the manual:

If there is a parse error in the evaluated code, eval() returns FALSE and execution of the following code continues normally. It is not possible to catch a parse error in eval() using set_error_handler().

But as you won't be calling eval on arbitrary code (right?), this shouldn't be a problem.
