Hi, I have no trouble using email error logging with PHP however when I use the file logging I do not get any errors sent to: Control Panel/Statistics/Error Log

 
Email of error sent OK

error_log('Failed to connect to MySQL database: ' . mysql_error(), 1, "xxxx@gmail.com", "From: xxxx@gmail.com");

 

NO OUTPUT TO Control Panel/Statistics/Error Log
error_log('Failed to connect to MySQL database: ' . mysql_error(), 0);

 

I am wondering if I am looking in the correct file for the PHP errors? 

Thanks for any help

Hi. My site's not hosted on Zen so the set up may be different, but I get the same symptoms.

Control Panel/Statistics/Error Log appears only to show the Apache web server errors not the PHP ones. I prefer to have PHP errors emailed to me anyway, so I've not tried very hard to get it working with the $message_type set to 0.

From the documentation it would appear to to depend on the error_log directive so check in phpinfo(). There is also mention of a syslog() function which looks promising.
