Description:
------------
The official PHP distributions (at least the Windows binaries) have the following lines in the default php.ini files:
; Log errors to syslog (Event Log on NT, not valid in Windows 95).
; Log mail to syslog (Event Log on NT, not valid in Windows 95).

As you no longer support non-NT version of Windows, the "not valid in Windows 95" is outdated and might be removed and the rest of the line should be updated to keep or even improve the text, for example:
; Log errors to syslog (Application event log on Windows).
; Log mail to syslog (Application event log on Windows).

Problem you have described has been fixed[1] by Anatol Belski a few months ago. Moreover, it was already reported in a bug #67033, so this report seems to be a duplicate.

Are you sure that your php.ini file came from original binary package and it's not copied from older installation?

Regards,
Maciej.
