Are there any best practices for handling PHP errors and logging them effectively?

To effectively handle PHP errors and log them, it is recommended to use error handling functions like `set_error_handler()` and `error_log()` to catch and log errors in a centralized location. Additionally, utilizing PHP's built-in logging functions like `error_log()` or third-party logging libraries can help track and analyze errors more efficiently. 

// Set custom error handler function
function customErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) {
    // Log the error to a file
    error_log("Error: [$errno] $errstr in $errfile on line $errline", 3, "error.log");
}

// Set the custom error handler
set_error_handler("customErrorHandler");

// Trigger a sample error
$undefinedVariable = $someUndefinedVariable;
