Answer 1

Works for me. How log all php errors to a log fiie?

Just add following line to /etc/php.ini to log errors to specified file – /var/log/php-scripts.log

vi /etc/php.ini

Modify error_log directive

error_log = /var/log/php-scripts.log

Make sure display_errors set to Off (no errors to end users)

display_errors = Off

Save and close the file. Restart web server:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

How do I log errors to syslog or Windows Server Event Log?

Modify error_log as follows :

error_log = syslog

How see logs?

Login using ssh or download a log file /var/log/php-scripts.log using sftp:
$ sudo tail -f /var/log/php-scripts.log
