#45825 [NEW]: No message displayed for parse errors in included files

From:             a at a dot com
Operating system: WinXP
PHP version:      5.3.0alpha1
PHP Bug Type:     Scripting Engine problem
Bug description:  No message displayed for parse errors in included files

Description:
------------
WinXP, IIS, ISAPI, PHP 4.4.8 (I have to use the 4.x branch because my code
needs to run on a shared hosting server that I have no control over, and
they only have the 4.x branch.)

When there is a parse error in an included file, NO error is displayed
even if display_errors and error_reporting are set correctly.

Reproduce code:
---------------
--a.php--
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL & E_NOTICE);
include("b.inc.php");
?>
---------

--b.inc.php--
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL & E_NOTICE);
$testvar = ;
?>
-------------

Expected result:
----------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in [path here]\b.inc.php on line
4

Actual result:
--------------
The output is absolutely, completely blank.
