It's turned off by default. Name defined in php.ini. But not the location. You might start trying with:
php --info | findstr /r /c:"error_log"
But that only returns the error log file’s name, not its path

IIS, how to install PHP 5.2 onto IIS 5.1
1) Install with only the option: "IIS 4+ / ISAPI"
2) Install under folder "C:\PHP\" Don’t accept default “C:\Program Files\PHP” ‘cause later in step 4 the space in “Program Files” causes “wrong executable” error
3) Edit the file: "C:\PHP\php.ini" (or see php.ini)
Change "doc_root = " to "doc_root = c:\Inetpub\www\ "
4) Open IIS, right click on “Web Sites”, Properties.
Click home directory tab.
Click Configuration, look for the extension ".php".
The executable path should be "C:\PHP\php5isapi.dll" If you installed PHP under default “C:\Program Files\PHP”, you’ll get “wrong executable” error
C:\PHP\php–cgi.exe also seems to work
5) Restart IIS
info - display info about your PHP installation. Create a file named, phpinfo.php. All it needs is just one line:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Put that file into your site's root directory and then navigate to it.

magic_quotes_gpe – /etc/php.ini (or see php.ini)
MySQL Front – discontinued
path – if include_path is set in php.ini, then it is ignored except for informational purposes; phpinfo reports what include_path in php.ini contains but scripts cannot find files. Default include_path works. Setting include_path via http.conf php_value works.
PEAR is a framework and distribution system for reusable PHP components – found in the php–devel rpm
Where ought it to be found? In the php directory root. Where's the php directory? With Windows, you get to choose when you install. You might put it in “C:\php”, for instance. In Linux, it might very well be in \etc.
But there is no “php.ini” when you first install.
Instead, you get a couple of templates – php.ini-development and
php.ini-production – in the root php directory.
Choose one to copy or save as “php.ini”.
