So I recently discovered that the log4* package was available for PHP and upon
seeing this eagerly downloaded the latest from the log4php website and followed
the installation instructions. The instructions indicate that one is to
download the tar package, untar, and place the following directory in a place
of one's choosing: log4php/src/main/php
Therefore I copied the contents of log4php/src/main/php into my lib dir under
lib/log4php.
In my script, as required, I required the 'Logger.php' class and indicated a
properties file to manage my appenders. The properties file,
log4php.properties, is located on my filesystem at
"/home1/ioforgec/www/devlab/pnotes/config/log4php.properties".
Here is the logfile content:
#
# Example Logger
#
log4php.appender.EA1 = LoggerAppenderConsole
log4php.appender.EA1.target = STDOUT
log4php.appender.EA1.layout = LoggerLayoutPattern
log4php.appender.EA1.ConversionPattern = "%m"
log4php.appender.EA1.threshold = FATAL
log4php.exampleLogger = FATAL, EA1
So here is a copy of my script that implements (more or less 'wraps' the
log4php functionality):
<?php
require_once('/home1/ioforgec/www/devlab/pnotes/lib/log4php/Logger.php');
class LogUtil
{
public $logger;
public $properties_file =
"/home1/ioforgec/www/devlab/pnotes/config/log4php.properties";
public static function logExample($msg)
{
Logger::configure($properties_file);
$logger = Logger::getLogger("example");
$logger->debug("Shouldnt see this print because of config max level
FATAL");
$logger->fatal($msg);
}
}
?>
In order to test that this is working properly, the following script calls the
LogUtil.php shown above:
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
require_once("lib/utils/LogUtil.php");
LogUtil::logExample("example message");
?>
So, despite configuring the example logger to format the messages as the plain
message, despite setting the level of the logger to a max of FATAL, not only in
the logger declaration but also in the threshold command, the print to the
console looks to me like the default root logger:
Mon Oct 18 20:30:05 2010,705 [827] DEBUG example - shouldnt see this print
because of config max level FATAL
Mon Oct 18 20:30:05 2010,711 [827] FATAL example - example message
I see the print statement without the plain formatting as specified, and I see
two print statements, the debug print (which should never have printed due to
the setting of FATAL on the logger configuration - FATAL is MUCH higher than
DEBUG)
What on earth am I doing wrong? I've tried every combination of setup I can
possibly think of. Does anyone have any suggestions?
