Logging in PHP

[Dan Joseph]

Howdy Folks,

I was wondering if any of you had suggestions for logging with PHP? I'm
talking about things other than error_log().

I'm also using ZF2, which does have a logger class, but it seems more
manual entries than just automated logging of sorts.

Any ideas I can look at?

I don't have examples since we're still working with ZF1, but if you're
using ZF2, I'd create a logger using the event manager.

I'd personally recommend using monolog: https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog
It's pretty flexible and easy to use.

From the description above, I can't tell exactly what it is you are expecting
to be logged if you don't want to build "manual entries". If you don't create
something other that what already exists, what additional information are you
expecting the system to automatically log for you?

I am not currently using but have in the past and really like it:
https://logging.apache.org/log4php/
log4php is based on log4j for Java. I am not sure what the status of
the project is right now but I would say it is worth a look.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll take a look through these.

Jim, it was a poorly worded/asked question. You're right in I'd need to
add manual entries.

The only thing I can think of, since you asked, is normal event stuff, but
that's already logged anyway I suppose.
