error_get_last
If you are trying to capture PHP errors to a text file on IIS ensure that two things are set.
1) Only one error log option is set. IE:
; Log errors to specified file.
error_log = "c:\php\errorlog.txt"
; Log errors to syslog (Event Log on NT, not valid in Windows 95).
;error_log = syslog
2) The IUSR account has write and modify permissions to e rrorlog.txt .
error_log
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
error_log — Envia uma mensagem de erro para algum lugar
Descrição
bool error_log
( string $mensagem
[, int $mensagem_type
[, string $destination
[, string $extra_headers
]]] )
Envia uma mensagem de erro para o log de um servidor, para uma porta TCP ou para um arquivo.
Parâmetros
- message
-
The error message that should be logged.
- message_type
-
Says where the error should go. The possible message types are as follows:
Tipo de logs de error_log() 0 mensagem é enviada para o sistema de log do PHP, usando o sistema de log do sistema operacional ou para um arquivo, dependendo do que estiver definido na diretiva error_log. Esta é a opção padrão. 1 mensagem é enviado para o endereço de email em destination . Este é o unico tipo de mensagem onde o quarto parâmetro extra_headers é usado. 2 Não é mais uma opção. 3 mensagem é adicionada ao arquivo destination . Uma nova linha não é adicionada automaticamente ao final da string message . - destination
-
A destinação. Seu significado depende do parâmetro message_type como descrito acima.
- extra_headers
-
The extra headers. It's used when the message_type parameter is set to 1. This message type uses the same internal function as mail() does.
Valor Retornado
Retorna TRUE em caso de sucesso ou FALSE em falhas.

When logging to apache on windows, both error_log and also trigger_error result in an apache status of error on the front of the message. This is bad if all you want to do is log information. However you can simply log to stderr however you will have to do all message assembly:
LogToApache($Message) {
$stderr = fopen('php://stderr', 'w');
fwrite($stderr,$Message);
fclose($stderr);
}

Be carefull. Unexpected PHP dies when 2GByte of file log reached (on systems having upper file size limit).
A work aorund is rotate logs :)

"It appears that the system log = stderr if you are running PHP from the command line"
Actually, it seems that PHP logs to stderr if it can't write to the log file. Command line PHP falls back to stderr because the log file is (usually) only writable by the webserver.

On a Mac running OS X, for the error logging to work I needed to put this in my php.ini:
error_log = /tmp/php_errors.log
Attempting to put the log in other locations did not work, probably due to permission issues.

Note that since typical email is unencrypted, sending data about your errors over email using this function could be considered a security risk. How much of a risk it is depends on how much and what type of information you are sending, but the mere act of sending an email when something happens (even if it cannot be read) could itself imply to a sophisticated hacker observing your site over time that they have managed to cause an error.
Of course, security through obscurity is the weakest kind of security, as most open source supporters will agree. This is just something that you should keep in mind.
And of course, whatever you do, make sure that such emails don't contain sensitive user data.

Beware! If multiple scripts share the same log file, but run as different users, whichever script logs an error first owns the file, and calls to error_log() run as a different user will fail *silently*!
Nothing more frustrating than trying to figure out why all your error_log calls aren't actually writing, than to find it was due to a *silent* permission denied error!

Hi !
Another trick to post "HTML" mail body. Just add "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" into extra_header string. Of course you can set charset according to your country or Env or content.
EG: Error_log("<html><h2>stuff</h2></html>",1,"eat@joe.com","subject :lunch\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");
Enjoy !

Beware the size of your custom error_log!
Once it exceeds 2GB the function errors, ending your script at the error_log() line. I'm sure this differs from OS to OS, but I have seen it die writing to ext2 under modern Linux systems.

It appears that the system log = stderr if you are running PHP from the command line, and that often stderr = stdout. This means that if you are using a custom error to both display the error and log it to syslog, then a command-line user will see the same error reported twice.

It appears that error_log() only logs the first line of multi-line log messages. To log a multi-line message, either log each line individually or write the message to another file.

In the case of missing your entries in the error_log file:
When you use error_log in a script that does not produce any output, which means that you cannot see anything during the execution of the script, and when you wonder why there are no error_log entries produced in your error_log file, the reasons can be:
- you did not configure error_log output in php.ini
- the script has a syntax error and did therefore not execute

when using error_log to send email, not all elements of an extra_headers string are handled the same way. "From: " and "Reply-To: " header values will replace the default header values. "Subject: " header values won't: they are *added* to the mail header but don't replace the default, leading to mail messages with two Subject fields.
<?php
error_log("sometext", 1, "zigzag@my.domain",
"Subject: Foo\nFrom: Rizzlas@my.domain\n");
?>
---------------%<-----------------------
To: zigzag@my.domain
Envelope-to: zigzag@my.domain
Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 13:29:02 -0500
From: Rizzlas@my.domain
Subject: PHP error_log message
Subject: Foo
Delivery-date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 13:29:03 -0500
sometext
---------------%<---------------------
quoth the docs: "This message type uses the same internal function as mail() does."
mail() will also fail to set a Subject field based on extra_header data - instead it takes a seperate argument to specify a "Subject: " string.
