error_log issue in php.ini

Howdy,
I have found something that I find a bug in php. If I have log_errors
= on in the php.ini and don't set the error_log entry, I can never set
it in a php script.
I have the error_log commented out in the php.ini, because I have it
set in my httpd.conf file for all of my virtual hosts. But when I run
php from the command line, I want to set the error_log to a file, and
ini_set() always returns false, simply because error_log is commented
out in the php.ini. I should be able to set this at runtime.

You can use a separate php-cli.ini for your command line php.

What are the semantics for the automatic loading of php-cli.ini' andphp-cgi.ini' files? For instance, will only php-cli.ini' be loaded by a command-line instance of PHP, similar to using the-c' command-line switch,
or will php.ini' be loaded and then modified by thephp-cli.ini' settings?
The scanty details that I've been able to locate, and the application of a
liberal dose of common sense, seem to indicate the former.

Also, any chance that we could see a mention of the additional PHP ini files
on the "configuration" manual page? I've cc'd the phpdoc list for that
purpose, maybe unnecessarily, as it was mentioned briefly in bug report
#21783 filed back in January :-). Other than a short user comment on the
"features.commandline" page, however, it doesn't seem to be mentioned
anywhere "official" (i.e., generally accessible to the average PHP user).
