+	# 1. in cli, display_errors and log_errors have different

+	#    whether these destinations make sense is left

+	# 2. as mentioned above, with all output turned on
+	#    php will print parse errors twice, one time on stdout
+	#    and one time on stderr.
+	# 3. it is possible to set both display_errors and log_errors
+	#    to off. if this is done php will print the text
+	#    "Errors parsing <file>" but will not say what
+	#    the errors are. useful behavior, this.
+	# 4. on my system display_errors defaults to on and
+	#    log_errors defaults to off, therefore providing
+	#    by default one copy of messages. your mileage may vary.
+	# 5. by setting display_errors=stderr and log_errors=on,
+	#    both sets of messages will be printed on stderr.
+	# 6. php-cgi binary, given display_errors=stderr and
+	#    log_errors=on, still prints both sets of messages
+	#    on stderr, but formats one set as an html fragment.
