Why PHP don't Report this SYNTAX ERROR ?

[nvn]

Hi everyone:

my code is like this:
/------------ file error.php ------------------------------------
<?php

print("first\n" );
print("second\n "));
print("third\n" );

?>
--------------file error.php------------------------------------/

There is a unmatched ")" in the print "second" line, so the syntax is
error.
But when I execute it, I get nothing, there is no SYNTAX ERROR
report !
So if this error be hidden in a big file, it is hard to find out.
Any one has any good idea ?

Well I get one. Check your error reporting level.
