How do I turn on all error and warnings and log them to a file, but to set up all of that within the script (not changing anything in php.ini)?

I want to define a file name and so that all errors and warnings get logged into it.

Simply put these codes at top of your PHP/index file:

error_reporting(E_ALL); // Error/Exception engine, always use E_ALL

ini_set('ignore_repeated_errors', TRUE); // always use TRUE

ini_set('display_errors', FALSE); // Error/Exception display, use FALSE only in production environment or real server. Use TRUE in development environment

ini_set('log_errors', TRUE); // Error/Exception file logging engine.
ini_set('error_log', 'your/path/to/errors.log'); // Logging file path

here's my log function:

You can edit the log rows by editing $maxLogs=5, also the order to write your logs $logOrder='top'

<?php
lg('script start','start');

#Code......
lg('script end','End of code');

function lg($str,$mod='Your Log Category'){
    $ts = microtime(true);
    if(!defined('logTimer')){
        define('logTimer',microtime(true));
    }
    $diff=abs(round(($ts-logTimer)*1000,2));
    $maxLogs=5;
    $logOrder='top';#new Logs at top
    
    
    $filename = './log.txt';
    $log=[];
    if(!file_exists($filename)){
        if(!file_put_contents($filename,json_encode($log,128))){
            echo "Can’t open to write '$filename' Check Permissions";
            return;
        }
    }else{
        $c=file_get_contents($filename);
        if(trim($c)==''){$c='[]';}
        
        $log =@json_decode($c,true);
        if(!is_Array($log)){$log=[];}
    }
    $new=['mod'=>$mod,'date'=> date('Y-m-d H:i:s')." Scripttime: ".$diff."ms",'log'=>$str];
    if($logOrder=='top'){
        array_unshift($log , $new);
        $log=array_slice($log,0,$maxLogs);
        }else{
        $log[]=$new;
        $log=array_slice($log,0-$maxLogs,$maxLogs);
    }
    
    
    $logs=json_encode($log,128);
    if(!file_put_contents($filename,$logs) ){echo ("Can’t open to write '$filename' Check Permissions") ;return;}
    return $str;
}
?>

The Output looks like:

[
    {
        "mod": "delete",
        "date": "2022-08-04 13:48:02 0.33ms",
        "log": "test 2"
    },
    {
        "mod": "start",
        "date": "2022-08-04 13:48:29 0ms",
        "log": "test"
    },
    {
        "mod": "delete",
        "date": "2022-08-04 13:48:29 0.27ms",
        "log": "test 2"
    },
    {
        "mod": "start",
        "date": "2022-08-04 13:48:34 0ms",
        "log": "test"
    },
    {
        "mod": "delete",
        "date": "2022-08-04 13:48:34 0.92ms",
        "log": "test 2"
    }
