When using PHP builtin server on macOS, you need to specify error_log in your php.ini config file (php -i | grep php.ini).

If you decide with syslog (instead of a log file) such as:

error_log = syslog

Then to dump the logs, you can use log command on macOS, e.g.

log stream --predicate 'processImagePath contains "php"'

Otherwise use some specific file path for the error log (e.g. /usr/local/var/log/php-error.log).
