Description:
------------
The check for removed ini directives in php_module_startup (main/main.c) was changed to use E_ERROR instead of E_WARNING:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/trunk/main/main.c?r1=288037&r2=288038&

Since it is run before module_initialized is set to 1, php_error_cb skips the bailout.

If it's supposed to be fatal then it should be E_CORE_ERROR, as README.UPDATING_TO_PHP6 says.

Reproduce code:
---------------
php -d register_globals=1 -r 'echo "hi\n";'

Expected result:
----------------
PHP Fatal error:  Directive 'register_globals' no longer exist in PHP 6 and greater in Unknown on line 0


Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error:  Directive 'register_globals' no longer exist in PHP 6 and greater in Unknown on line 0
