Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function
Operating System: Linux 2.4.26
PHP Version: 4.3.7
New Comment:
php.net and openlog();
->
"openlog() is optional. It will automatically be called by syslog() if
necessary, in which case ident will default to FALSE."
A Documentation problem then?

Cannot replicate the bug, moreover you should not be
calling syslog() without prior openlog() &
define_syslog_variables() calls.

Description:
------------
Note; this might relate to Bug 17648, thus have been around for a
while. Hopefully bug will be finally fixed.
-------
Logging messages to system log with plain syslog() (i.e. without using
openlog() and define_syslog_variables())creates random garbage/text
from memory preceding the actual message.
Example:
A line in any php-file:
syslog(LOG_NOTICE,"insert text here");
/var/log/messages showed:
Jun 10 08:34:30 mail ='crc' VALUE=': insert text here
The preceding text varies, sometimes it is correct (=nothing),
sometimes it's longer.
The problem can be solved like this:
define_syslog_variables();
openlog('Info:',LOG_ODELAY,LOG_USER);
syslog(LOG_NOTICE,"insert text here")
->
Jun 10 08:36:12 mail Info: insert text here
----------
Server is Apache 1.3.31 and php compiled as module.
