 New Comment:

It does happen. It requires that:

1) display_errors = off
2) No headers have been sent yet by the time the error happens
3) Status is 200 at that time.

Description:
------------
My host runs PHP v5.2.12 (confirmed via phpversion) on IIS6 (Windows
Server, unknown version). When a PHP error occurs (parse error, runtime
error, etc), a "200 OK" HTTP status is returned, instead of the correct
"500 Internal Server Error".

This is despite claims in the change history for v5.2.4 that this issue
was fixed:  "Changed error handler to send HTTP 500 instead of blank
page on PHP errors. (Dmitry, Andrei Nigmatulin)". This doesn't appear to
be the case on IIS6 (monitored remotely via HTTP Spy).

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
x = y;  // cause parse error
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Parse error mesage and "500 Internal Server Error" HTTP status code.

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error mesage and "200 OK" HTTP status code
