Compile.

ASP: "Hold on! There were build errors, compile anyway?"

Yes.

ASP: "Great! We're good to go and everything checks out!"

Reload page: Error. Stack Trace.

yes, but the fact that PHP will continue where ASP would have a fatal error is the reason I have a problem with PHP. If something is broken it should . . . break. Maybe I'm just old fashioned.

ASP falls over at the slightest error, weirdly - even on things not directly related to ASP or its supporting C. PHP however, is sophisticated and smart enough to know when it should continue to run, and when it should present a fatal error. 😌

eeehhh, it'd more like the PHP interpreter doesn't know when to stop, until it's literally can't go. ASP checks things ahead of time which can be really helpful
