error_logSend an error message somewhereDescriptioninterror_logstringmessageintmessage_typestringdestinationstringextra_headers
Sends an error message to the web server's error log, a
TCP port or to a file. The first parameter,
message, is the error message that should be
logged. The second parameter, message_type says
where the message should go:
error_log log types0message is sent to PHP's system logger, using
the Operating System's system logging mechanism or a file, depending
on what the error_log
configuration directive is set to. This is the default option.
1message is sent by email to the address in
the destination parameter. This is the only
message type where the fourth parameter,
extra_headers is used. This message type
uses the same internal function as mail does.
2message is sent through the PHP debugging
connection. This option is only available if remote debugging has
been enabled. In this case, the
destination parameter specifies the host name
or IP address and optionally, port number, of the socket receiving
the debug information.
3message is appended to the file
destination.
When explicitly specifying the message_type as
3, a newline is not automatically added to the end of
the message string.
Remote debugging via TCP/IP is a PHP 3 feature that is
not available in PHP 4.
