Description:
------------
error_append_string directive not used when error is logged in a file.
Just used when error is displayed on screen.

Reproduce code:
---------------
error_reporting(E_ALL) ; 
ini_set('error_log', 'errors.txt') ;
ini_set('html_errors', false) ;
ini_set('error_append_string', " -- ".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) ;
ini_set('log_errors', true) ;
ini_set('display_errors', true) ;

Expected result:
----------------
in errors.txt file :
Notice: Show me the error_append_string please ! in /home/fred/www/EasyZik-2006-10-29/test.php on line 9 -- /test.php

on screen :
Notice: Show me the error_append_string please ! in /home/fred/www/EasyZik-2006-10-29/test.php on line 9 -- /test.php

Actual result:
--------------
in errors.txt file :
Notice: Show me the error_append_string please ! in /home/fred/www/EasyZik-2006-10-29/test.php on line 9

on screen :
Notice: Show me the error_append_string please ! in /home/fred/www/EasyZik-2006-10-29/test.php on line 9 -- /test.php

I am also having this problem. The error_prepend_string shows when the 
error is displayed, but not in the log file. Any word on when this 
feature will be available?

From looking at the implementation[1], error_prepend_string and
error_append_string are indeed only used when displaying the
string on the screen.  From looking at the default php.ini
files[2], the reasoning becomes clear: these INI directives are
designed to be able to mark up the error message HTML, and as such
the implementation is deliberate.  This needs to be documented,
though.

Changing the behavior would require an RFC, so anybody who is
still looking for this is welcome to the pursue the RFC
process[3].
