Description:
------------
The source in the PHP dom extension causes the LIBXML_NOWARNING flag to be ignored when loading html through DOMDocument.

Problem is in ext/dom/document.c of PHP source, in the dom_load_html method. 
Calling htmlCtxtUseOptions with HTML_PARSE_NOWARNING causes the warning handlers to be unregistered (set to NULL). But the PHP code then proceeds to install its own handlers unconditionally, rendering the flag useless. 

see stackoverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41860683/libxml-htmlparsedocument-ignoring-htmlparseoption-flags

Test script:
---------------
$doc=new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML("<tagthatthrowswarning>HI</tagthatthrowswarning>", LIBXML_NOWARNING);
echo $doc->saveHTML();

Expected result:
----------------
expected output 
no warnings output.


Actual result:
--------------
E_WARNING : type 2 -- DOMDocument::loadHTML(): Tag tagthatthrowswarning invalid in Entity, line: 1 -- at line 4

Why is this still producing an error?

$ cat html.php
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML('<tagthatthrowswarn>HI</tagthatthrowswarn>', LIBXML_NOWARNING);

$ php -v
PHP 7.3.7 (cli) (built: Jul 21 2019 18:10:35) ( NTS )

$ php html.php
PHP Warning:  DOMDocument::loadHTML(): Tag tagthatthrowswarn invalid in Entity,
line: 1 in /Desktop/html.php on line 3
