Answer 1

The logging/reporting behaviour of PHP is dependant on error_reporting too.

Some PHP frameworks (for example CodeIgniter) execute an error_reporting(E_STRICT) statement or equivalent, when in production mode, which will severely reduce the number/kind of logged errors.

If you want to debug something, then you can just put the following statement right before your code:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
