Question

If I run following php file

<?php
$str = 'he;
echo $str;
?>

it will log a parse error to standard apache log file.
I can specify a logfile in php.ini but that would change logfile for all php scripts.

Is it possible to log errors from specific script to a particular log file?

Answer 1

You can achieve that using .htaccess directive in conjunction with <Files>:

<Files something.php>
    php_flag log_errors on
    php_value error_log /path/to/your/error.log
</Files>

<Files something_else.php>
    php_flag log_errors on
    php_value error_log /path/to/your/other_error.log
</Files>

Also, make sure you have PHP installed as Apache module, else it won’t work.
