I am curios as to your reasoning behind turning on html_errors by default, why

Logging of errors occurred during the tests seems pointless to me. As I've
mentioned before if a test needs to check if a certain type of error is
generated the track_errors & $php_errormsg facility can be used to capture
this error reliably. Logging of errors is unreliable since the actual error
message can go anywhere, stderr,syslog, user specified file, etc... It is
highly likely that you may not even see the error message because it is not
sent to stderr. Data sent to the error log is also 'variable', because it
contains fluid data which different from system to system due to file paths,
so we must do all kinds of hackery if we are to use it when confirming the
output of a test.
I for one, would like to see that setting go away.
+1.
Try this:
/install/target/php.ini: log_errors=On, error_log=/var/log/www/php_errors

/var/log/www/php_errors: owner=nobody, group=nobody, mode=644

Think about how many tests that will break.

That's what 'display_errors' is for. No need to log it?
