<para>
Sends an error message to the web server's error log, a
<acronym>TCP</acronym> port or to a file. The first parameter,
<parameter>message</parameter>, is the error message that should
be logged. The second parameter,
<parameter>message_type</parameter> says where the message should
go:
<table>
<title><function>error_log</function> log types</title>
<tgroup cols="2">
<tbody>
<row>
<entry>0</entry>
<entry>
<parameter>message</parameter> is sent to PHP's system
logger, using the Operating System's system logging
mechanism or a file, depending on what the <link
linkend="ini.error-log">error_log</link> configuration
directive is set to.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>1</entry>
<entry>
<parameter>message</parameter> is sent by email to the
address in the <parameter>destination</parameter> parameter.
This is the only message type where the fourth parameter,
<parameter>extra_headers</parameter> is used. This message
type uses the same internal function as
<function>mail</function> does.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>2</entry>
<entry>
<parameter>message</parameter> is sent through the PHP debugging
connection. This option is only available if <link
linkend="install.configure.enable-debugger">remote debugging has
been enabled</link>. In this case, the
<parameter>destination</parameter> parameter specifies the host
name or IP address and optionally, port number, of the socket
receiving the debug information.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>3</entry>
<entry>
<parameter>message</parameter> is appended to the file
<parameter>destination</parameter>.

<para>
Remote debugging via TCP/IP is a PHP 3 feature that is <emphasis>not</emphasis>
