This problem seems pretty obvious in hindsight, but I created a table called "class", which causes Radicore to generate a class file with the name "class" -- a syntax error.

I would suggest adding some sort of check for table names that won't translate to PHP classes, when they are first imported into the dictionary. Or, rather than making a list of words that are reserved, it might be easier to just run "php -l" on each generated file.

I don't mind correcting my own naming errors (to fix my problem, I'm renaming "class" to "course"); my concern is that the Radicore application generates PHP scripts that don't parse.

I'm afraid that there is no easy way to check that a table name (or any other name) would cause PHP (or any related extension) to throw a whoopsie, so I will just have to rely on your own judgement when it comes to creating object names.

Now if only someone could create a function called isThisAGoodName() ....

No problem!
function isThisAGoodName($tablename)
{
        //short version requires PECL extension
        //return runkit_lint ("<?php class $tablename {} ?" .  ">");

        //"long" version
        $temp_file = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'rad');
        file_put_contents($temp_file, "<?php class $tablename {} ?>");

        $result = `php -lq $temp_file`;

        unlink($temp_file);
        return 0 === strpos($result, "No syntax errors detected");
}
