Description:
------------
i have a small function that checks if a certain file exists. if it does, it runs php_check_syntax on that file. if the syntax is ok, then it includes the file, otherwise it triggers an E_USER_ERROR.

what's happening is this: when the file does have a syntax error, then once the script hits the part where it should through the E_USER_ERROR, it instead crashes the Scripting Interpreter. if i replace E_USER_ERROR with E_USER_WARNING it will run through to the end, with correct output. similarly, if i replace triggering the error with a simple echo statement followed by an exit(), this will also crash the Scripting Interpreter.


---------------------------------------------------
my php.ini differs from php.ini-dist in the following ways:
register_globals=On
magic_quotes_runtime = On
extension_dir = "./extensions/"
upload_max_filesize = 16M
extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
sendmail_from = awulf@ev1.net

Reproduce code:
---------------
there are two small files found in the following directory:

http://chalkboard.inversiondesigns.com/phpError/

they are:

http://chalkboard.inversiondesigns.com/phpError/bar.phps
http://chalkboard.inversiondesigns.com/phpError/myError.phps



Expected result:
----------------
enter
test if bar.php exists
test if bar.php is syntatically correct.
Fatal error: parse error in bar.php in C:\apache\htdocs\classlist.php on line 3


Actual result:
--------------
i'm running in MSIE 6.+ and get a popup error box with:
PHP Script Interpreter has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.
