Is there any way to have Apache / PHP log specifically why a 500 is being returned?

I understand a 500 response can be returned under a variety of different scenarios, but is there any way to have the server log specifically what caused the 500? Or for that matter print it to the PHP page/output?

EDIT:

I'm on MediaTemple's Grid Service, display errors is on in phpinfo(), the following is in my PHP code: ini_set('display_errors',1); error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);

and error logging is turned on in my hosting configuration, yet when I tail the log, nothing appears when I hit refresh. Any ideas?

You can try :

$log_file = 'c:temp\test_error.txt';
register_shutdown_function('handleShutdown');

function handleShutdown() {
    global $log_file;
    $error = error_get_last();
    if ($error !== NULL) {
        $info = "[SHUTDOWN] file:" . $error['file'] . " | ln:" . $error['line'] . " | msg:" . $error['message'] . PHP_EOL;
        file_put_contents($log_file, $info, FILE_APPEND);
    } else {
        file_put_contents($log_file, "SHUTDOWN ", FILE_APPEND);
    }
}

The cause of the 500 error should be in Apache's error log already. If PHP was responsible, then the error will be shown on screen if you have display_errors = On in php.ini.
