 Bug Type:         PHP options/info functions
 Operating System: Debian 3.0
 PHP Version:      5.0.4

Description:
------------
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE
apache 2.2.9, php-5.2.6, (from ports)

php.ini config: /usr/local/etc/php.ini
error_log = /home/sites/php_logs/php_errors.log


PHP will not even write the errors to the original error_log value set
 in the php.ini.  It will instead write them to apache's error log
for that particular <virtualhost>.


The error does occur, and it DOES get logged, just not to the right
file, it now gets logged to the APACHE error log file, not even the
original php.ini error_log setting, which I find very strange.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

phpinfo();

echo nonexistent();

?>

Expected result:
----------------
When I force a PHP error, calling a "nonexistent()" function, I should
get the error logged into my /home/sites/php_logs/php_errors.log file as
specified in /usr/local/etc/php.ini

Actual result:
--------------
the error (call to undefined function) DOES get logged, but to the
wrong
file... it gets logged to the Apache error file for that particular
<virtualhost>.  It doesn't even get logged to the original php.ini
file's setting for error_log.

PHP writes errors in $error_log only when I run scripts from CLI:
php /path-to/script.php

Using latest CVS snapshot (5.1-dev) this works just fine,
provided the path passed to error_log is such that the webserver can
write into it. And I don't get any PHP errors in the apache logs
either.

Check the permissions. And if that wasn't the cause, check what php.ini
file is used (shown in phpinfo() output) and do a 'diff -u' between that
and php.ini-dist from the latest CVS snapshot you're using.

Also, here is the VirutalHost directive from httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
        ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        DocumentRoot /www/xxx
        ServerName www.xxx.com
        ErrorLog /www/logs/xxx_com-error.log
        CustomLog /www/logs/xxx_com-access.log common
</VirtualHost>

The apache error log I keep referring to, that is getting the PHP
errors logged to it, is the one specified above at "ErrorLog",
xxx_com-error.log.

I just upgraded to the latest Apache 2.0.54, and PHP 5.0.4, and again,
I am still having the same problem.

I go into my php.ini file, and I comment out the setting for the php
error_log.  I then create a script like this:

<?php

ini_set("error_log","/path/to/logs/php-err.txt");
phpinfo();
nonexistent();

?>

When I examine the output of phpinfo(), i see the value set in the
ini_set() call.  

However, the error that occurs when I call the nonexistent() function
does NOT get logged to that file (nor does the file even get created).
It however does get logged to the virtual-host specific apache error log
(error.log) that is set to be in the same directory.

I even tried creating an empty file (thinking maybe it was the creation
of the file that wasn't working) in the logs directory, and then
restarting apache.  Reran the script, and still, the error gets logged
to the apache log for that virtual-host, not to the value set by
ini_set().

I just installed the new CVS snapshot of this, and I am now seeing a
different behavior, but still not the correct one.  Now, no matter
whether I specify an error_log in php.ini or not, ALL php errors are
going to the each  virtual-host specific apache error log.  I can't
override it with a valid error_log setting in php.ini, nor can I
override it in code, as my original bug report submitted that I had
tried.
