As I understand you want to have each entry/message on new line. If so:

error_log(mysql_error() . PHP_EOL, 3, "tmp/myerror.log");

If you want to have timestamp as well, you will have to add it yourself:

$dt = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time());
error_log("[{$dt}] " . mysql_error() . PHP_EOL, 3, "tmp/myerror.log");

If you need to constantly use such formatting I recommend to create your own function (something like this):

define('MY_ERROR_LOG', 'tmp/myerror.log');

function myErrorLog($message)
{
    $dt = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time());
    error_log("[{$dt}] " . $message . PHP_EOL, 3, MY_ERROR_LOG);
}
// use it
myErrorLog(mysql_error());

maybe you need function like this:

function error_log($message, $log_file) {
    file_put_contents($log_file, $message . "\n");
}
