The built-in webserver doesn't log anywhere by default, so you need to provide a php.ini for it to customise this. For example, if you created a file called php.ini with this content:

error_log = /Users/me/test.log
log_errors = on
date.timezone = UTC

Then you can start PHP's built-in webserver like this:

php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 -c php.ini

And error_log() calls will be logged to the file you've specified.
