Description:
------------
PHP 5.4.0 running on IIS 7.5, of which the stderrMode setting has been ReturnStdErrIn500. A 500 response is expected when display_errors is set to stderr. However, a 200 response with error message is returned and instead of stderr, on is displayed in phpinfo.


Test script:
---------------
1. Set display_errors=stderr
2. Access a malformed php script
3. Look at the HTTP response code and phpinfo

Expected result:
----------------
A HTTP 500 response with error message is returned

Actual result:
--------------
A HTTP 200 response with error message is returned

display_errors is "flag" not stings.

Are you suggesting feature change? 
I suppose users should know the correct values for ini settings and check them 
using phpinfo() etc.

According to http://www.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.display-errors:

Value "stderr" sends the errors to stderr instead of stdout. The value is available as of PHP 5.2.4. In earlier versions, this directive was of type boolean. 

So, stderr is a supported value. This is currently a bug.
