Description:
------------
If the log file is read only on either Win or Linux error_log() still returns true as a success flag, even thought the log message was never written.  It should return false I think if the log is not written.  

?? Is this a cgi thing?  Don't think so, because my win-7 php is Apache mod-php, and the linux-php is fastcgi.


...A meta bug: an error, in the error_log :-)


Thanks.




Test script:
---------------
<?php 
// I'm not sure you need all this to demonstrate the problem, but this is what // I have set that might possibly relate to this issue:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set('display_errors'		,'On');
ini_set('log_errors'			,'On');
ini_set('error_log'			,'/php_errors.log');
	
ini_set('display_startup_errors'	,'On');
ini_set('ignore_repeated_errors'	,'Off');
ini_set('ignore_repeated_source'	,'off');

ini_set('log_errors_max_len'		,1024);

var_dump(error_log('test'));   // When php_errors.log is read only in windows,
                               // or 444 in Linux this returns true but 
                               // should return false.  What I want is if the
                               // log fails that I can report it elsewhere.

Expected result:
----------------
false

Actual result:
--------------
true
