Note Submitter: void at brynmosher dot com Reason: in docs ---- From the un-named fellow above: "mail() will also fail to set a Subject field based on extra_header data - instead it takes a seperate argument to specify a 'Subject: ' string." True. You can't pass error_log () a subject. It will always be "PHP error_log message". I think the hint here (from the mention of mail() in the docs) is to just use the mail function if we know we will be mailing the error info. I think the switch is there for convenience or perhaps it's deprecated. Either way, it would be just as simple to call mail as error_log() won't handle multiple destinations (ie: it can't both mail and write to the syslog).
