Only this type uses the headers parameter. 2 - Send errors via PHP debugging connection. This option is only available in PHP 3. 3 - Error sent to file target string. |
| destination | Optional. Specifies where to send error messages. The value of this parameter depends on the value of the "type" parameter. |
