Question

I have created my own PHP extension in c++ and am using Centos7 - php 5.6 version. I wants to write the my extension debug log into the web server logging directory.We can get this from PHP by calling phpinfo() method.

How can we get this Apache configuration location from my PHP extension in c++?

Even if you were able to parse the web server's configuration file in PHP, you wouldn't be able to create your own log file. Worker processes in web servers usually don't have permissions to create new files in the system log directory.

If you need to print debugging messages, generate them with php_error() . They will be passed to the web server for error logging.
