try this in your php file

ini_set("log_errors", 1);
ini_set("error_log",$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/logs/php-error.log");

Give write permission to the folder logs and its file, then check the file in logs folder.

error_log:error_log

error_log not has correct path, set a correct path like below

log_errors = On
error_log =  "C:\xampp\php\logs\php_error_log"

friend this worked is set 777 permission on folder logs and file php-error.log but i have to include this two line every time i write any new file please why this is to be done and what permission will be safe to give

you can write these lines in separate file and include this in all files like a db connection file and keep the log in separate folder and give permission to this. I don't think it will be harmful.

do you have any idea why the correct php.ini settings are not working and we have to set seprately

Harish Singh Over a year ago

log_errors = On error_log = "D:\xampp\php\logs\php_error_log" use this in php.ini it will work

You said:

just checked the apache file /etc/httpd/logs/error_log file it contain the error ...

which means:

loggine php errors works
all errors are written to /etc/httpd/logs/error_log

You also said:

... but why the error_log does not creating in the folder in which error occurs

Your php.ini directove error_log specifies where your want your error log to be. Now it is default. Specify different log file location and you'll have it in different place. There is no why - it lands where it is said to be.
