http.only_exceptions | "0" | PHP_INI_ALL | Whether all notices/warnings/errors should be thrown as exceptions.
http.force_exit | "1" | PHP_INI_ALL | Each occasion where "exits with a status of..." is mentioned, usually causes the halt of the scripting engine. Disable this option if you alternatively want to start a discarding (dev/null) output handler and continue script execution.
