Description:
------------
(I'm using IIS, ISAPI)

When there is a parse error in an included file, NO error is displayed
even if display_errors and error_reporting are set correctly.

Reproduce code:
---------------
--main.php--
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL & E_NOTICE);
include("inc.php");
?>
------------

--inc.php--
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL & E_NOTICE);
$testvar = ;
?>
-----------

Expected result:
----------------
Parse error: parse error in [path here]\inc.php on line 4

Actual result:
--------------
None, there is no output at all, and no error gets logged.

Verified using CLI. Errors are displayed correctly when the error_reporting() call is commented out from the main.php

error_reporting(E_ALL & E_NOTICE);

i believe you mean

error_reporting(E_ALL | E_NOTICE);

your code is equivalent to 

error_reporting(E_NOTICE);

error thrown is fatal so it's ignored in such error reporting.

I assume they should have used:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
