OK. Should we additionally check for existing possible extension in name?

Yes, I can not focus on log files only now. midgard-php and midgard-core
use the same file.
How do you find Apache log error used in both apache&php and php-cli environments?

Your proposal for g_log2ap wrapper is very good, but far from being usefull
on php level. For such environment I need some core's log handler.
Either initilized or supported by core.

Yes, and I know how I wrote that.
My perfect midgard log file should log everything from midcom to core.
That should be quite easy to write g_log like function for midgard-php.
The question is if it could be implemented something else than only in midgard-php.

I understand your point of view but I  can not count how many times I asked
users about setting 3~4 different log files.
