note 52103 added to function.error-log

I am not too sure about this, but I think I encountered an error here. or at least it's an odd behaviour. because I wanted to use this function but be able to configure the path to the logfile in one single file I put this path in a variable that is in an external file being included whereever I want to use error_log. but all the scripts in this form $logfile = "/tmp/mylog"; error_log ("something to log..", 3, $logfile); failed.. while error_log ("something to log..", 3, "/tmp/mylog"); works perfectly. eventually I used a define constant like this define ("logfile", "/tmp/mylog"); error_log ("something to log..", 3, logfile); and now everything is as expected! hope that helps? /christian ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.error-log.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52103 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52103&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52103&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52103&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52103&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52103&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52103&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
