How to set a condition for .htaccess directives

I have configured .htaccess file to append PHP errors into a log file by:

php_flag  log_errors on
php_value error_log  /home/user_id/public_html/PHP_errors.php
php_value error_reporting 6143

and It works fine in the remote server(linux). But the above path does not exist in the local server(windows). I tried:

php_value error_log  ./PHP_errors.php

And it works in local, But it does not work in the remote server.

Is it possible to restrict the above directions to the remote server? Something like:

Condition %{http_host} ^example.com$
php_value error_log  /home/user_id/public_html/PHP_errors.php

Condition %{http_host} ^localhost$
php_value error_log  ./PHP_errors.php

(I have not access to php.ini file in the remote server but of course I can change it in the local)

Using Apache 2.4 you can use this conditional snippet:

<If "%{HTTP_HOST} =~ m#^(www\.)?example\.com$#">
   php_value error_log  /home/user_id/public_html/PHP_errors.php
</If>

<If "%{HTTP_HOST} =~ m#localhost#">
   php_value error_log ./PHP_errors.php
</If>

There's a similar question with a good answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4139899/5550193

Additionally, you may not want to give your log file the extension .php as it opens up for some potential exploits. Better call it .log or something else that doesn't have potential to be sent to an interpreter by Apache.

You can control this from PHP. So you can have a configuration file in PHP that is included on the start of application and sets error_log() and error_reporting().

Then you can either have several versions of this file based on your environment (local or remote) or you can check for $_SERVER variable to set up correct paths.
