I feel like adding more details to the existing answer:

# PHP error handling for development servers
php_flag display_startup_errors on
php_flag display_errors on
php_flag html_errors on
php_flag log_errors on
php_flag ignore_repeated_errors off
php_flag ignore_repeated_source off
php_flag report_memleaks on
php_flag track_errors on
php_value docref_root 0
php_value docref_ext 0
php_value error_log /full/path/to/file/php_errors.log
php_value error_reporting -1
php_value log_errors_max_len 0

Give 777 or 755 permission to the log file and then add the code

<Files php_errors.log>
     Order allow,deny
     Deny from all
     Satisfy All
</Files>

at the end of .htaccess. This will protect your log file.

These options are suited for a development server. For a production server you should not display any error to the end user. So change the display flags to off.

php flag display errors on   To turn the actual display of errors on   To set the types of errors you are displaying  you will need to use   php value error reporting  lt integer gt    Combined with the integer values from this page  http   php net manual en errorfunc constants php  Note if you use -1 for your integer  it will show all errors  and be future proof when they add in new types of errors
