Log PHP error Into file in xampp localhost using .htaccess

Question

I need to log PHP error to .log file using .htaccess with log_errors:

# supress php errors
php_flag display_startup_errors off
php_flag display_errors off
php_flag html_errors off

# enable PHP error logging
php_flag  log_errors on
php_value error_log  C:\xampp\htdocs\cms\cache\logs\PHP_errors.log

# prevent access to PHP error log
<Files PHP_errors.log>
 Order allow,deny
 Deny from all
 Satisfy All
</Files>

Now, This not work and .log file is empty.

NOTE:I change .log file to 777 permission.

I know, xampp log PHP error to this file : C:\xampp\php\logs\php_error_log.log

maybe it's too late for the answer but I hope it can be useful.

have you tried checking apache's httpd.conf file? Mine contains these lines:

LogLevel   error
ErrorLog   /app/logs/apache/error/my_log_file.log
CustomLog  /app/logs/apache/access/my_log_file.log combined

These lines keep overriding .htaccess configuration, maybe this is also your case...

Hoping to be helpful

So I don't like using htaccess for things like error logging but I am not sure if you cannot use PHP or whatever. I typically just use PHP to handle error logging. It gives you a LOT of power. For just one example you don't want a HUGE file with tons of errors - which would happen if the logs weren't maintained properly. At least using PHP you can use a database or file storage with a little more power. The database method is probably the most preferred (by me at least). However, again you've got to keep up with logs and remove old logs to prevent database bloating. If you did decide to use file storage then using PHP would be a better method because of the possibilities. You could make sure the log never exceeds a certain file size, export old logs and start a new file and much much more....
