Description:
------------
When there is a syntax error in a PHP file, PHP sends back a 200 OK
response without any caching headers. This results in browsers such as
IE or Opera caching the resulting error, which can hinder debugging in
some cases. For example, an XMLHttpRequest to a faulty script can't be
easily force-refreshed from a browser.
I'd prefer for PHP to produce a 500 error in this case. Alternatively,
if you must produce a 200, then sending some headers to inhibit caching
will solve the problem as well.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?<?>
Expected result:
----------------
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
...
Content-Length: 144
Content-Type: text/html
<br />
<b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected '<' ...
Actual result:
--------------
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
Content-Length: 144
Content-Type: text/html
<br />
<b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected '<' ...
