	No, it's incorrect.

	Syslog filters based on facility and priority.  "httpd" is not
	a known facility.  "man 5 syslog.conf" will list the available
	facilities.  I see no quick reference to what facility php
	is using, but if I had to hazard a guess I'd say it was
	"daemon"; the priority remains in question, though.

	Due to potential for DOS I'd not use syslog for this, however;
	I would use error_log pointing to an accessible path, making
	whatever selinux changes may be required.
