errors showing when they should be off

I have debugging turned off on my production server.
But PHP errors are being displayed such as:
/var/www/html/models/MyPage.php(3839): syntax error, unexpected token "public"

I made this error deliberately to test if error display generally, so I don't need help with this specific error.
I need to figure out why the Error 500 page isn't being displayed instead

in php.ini i have display_errors off and I checked this with phpinfo
in production config I have:
"DEBUG" => false, // Enabled
"REPORT_ALL_ERRORS" => true, // Treat PHP warnings and notices as errors
"LOG_ERROR_TO_FILE" => true, // Log error to file
"LOG_ERROR_DETAILS" => true, // Log error details

I don't want users to see any error details, I can get those from log files or turn on debug temporarily when needed.
Any ideas what else to check?

Note that syntax error cannot be caught.

In addition, you should make sure your script has already free from syntax error before uploading to production server.

That's true, but not the point.
If there is an error, which happens sometimes i just want an error 500, i don't want people to see any details about the error.
That's what i was testing.
