No, its not possible.
All eventcreate does is register itself as the source.
Try this:

eventcreate /t error /id 100 /l application /so foobar /d "This is a
message"

and look here in the registry afterwards:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\foobar

OK I think i figured out something.

WinNT / XP has this commandline tool, eventcreate.exe.

I type from the command (DOS) prompt:

eventcreate /t error /id 100 /l application /d "Testing..."

And I get the similar error. No description for source, etc. etc.

But if I type:

eventcreate /t error /id 100 /l application /so myself /d "Testing..."

this is what I get the right description, and the origin is listed as
"msyelf". So probably in the WinNT/XP API there is a way to indicate
the origin with a string without the need to register it... in our
case, the origin should be "PHP". Perhaps the origin could change
between "PHP CLI", "PHP CGI" o "PHP SAPI".

I'm currently trying to figure out if there is a COM object for the
event log or something to implement a workaround.

This happens when there is no message catalog associated
with the event source in the registry.
The solution is to add an appropriate message catalog to
the win32 project, and enter the details into the registry
when PHP is installed.

However, this won't solve the case where the syslog is
opened with alternative message sources (such as c-client),
since each message source would need to be registered also.

I get this error on WinXP SP2, using PHP 4.3.3 and Apache 2.0.47. It's
not bogus, certainly.

Using "PHP 4.3.1 (cgi-fcgi), Copyright (c) 1997-2002 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2002 Zend Technologies"

I get the same message in windows XP when I use the syslog function.

The following message appears when I use the following command. 

syslog(LOG_ERR, "Could not select database");


Event Type:     Warning
Event Source:   c-client
Event Category: (4)
Event ID:       2000
Date:           7/23/2003
Time:           2:57:26 PM
User:           N/A
Computer:       Nothing
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 2000 ) in Source ( c-client ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote
computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this
description; see Help and Support for details. The following
information is part of the event: c-client[3684], Could not select
database.

I forgot to add I haven't set my php.ini error_log to syslog; but I am
getting this problem when using the syslog function, e.g.

syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"Blah blah blah");
