Bug #68689 [NEW]: log_errors description is misleading

From: chealer at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:log_errors description is misleading Description: ------------ The description of log_errors is: log_errors boolean Tells whether script error messages should be logged to the server's error log or error_log. This option is thus server-specific. Note: You're strongly advised to use error logging in place of error displaying on production web sites. As discussed in #66567, error_log is the directive allowing to choose how to log. log_errors is just a boolean determining whether PHP should log errors or not. The first sentence is not exactly wrong, but unclear. The following sentence ("This option is thus server-specific.") belongs to error_log's description, not here. I suggest replacing the whole English paragraph with just: Tells whether script error messages should be logged. The only problem with that is it doesn't refer to error_log, about which the reader will naturally want to learn next. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68689&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68689&r=mysqlcfg
