This is problem since Centos/Fedora writes LOG_EMERG messages to all users: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rsyslog/blob/master/f/rsyslog.conf#_59 LOG_EMERG is described as: "system is unusable". A php-script with a parse error would not in most cases render the system unstable. At most LOG_ERR or LOG_CRIT would be more suitable. Fatal errors are classified as LOG_ERR. Why not make parse errors the same level?
