( string $message
[, int $message_type
[, string $destination
[, string $extra_headers
]]] )
Parameters
-
message
-
The error message that should be logged.
-
message_type
-
Says where the error should go. The possible message types are as
follows:
error_log() log types
| 0 |
message
is sent to PHP's system logger, using
the Operating System's system logging mechanism or a file, depending
on what the error_log
configuration directive is set to. This is the default option.
|
| 1 |
message
is sent by email to the address in
the destination
parameter. This is the only
message type where the fourth parameter,
extra_headers
is used.
|
| 2 |
No longer an option.
|
| 3 |
message
is appended to the file
destination
. A newline is not automatically
added to the end of the message
string.
|
-
destination
-
The destination. Its meaning depends on the
message_type
parameter as described above.
-
extra_headers
-
The extra headers. It's used when the message_type
parameter is set to 1.
This message type uses the same internal function as
mail() does.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
