I did search for log rotation scripts but couldnt find any. Let me
keep looking.. though would be great if u can point to if you come
across any
This is ugly, but it's what I used before i started logging to a db.
Doesn't do filesize but will automatically change every day.
LOGFILE is DEFINED() true or false to turn on/off logging.
LOGNAME is DEFINED() as your log name.
$u_id = uniqid('uid');
$cr = chr(13);
function logfile($txt)
{
if (LOGFILE)
{
$txt = date("G:i:s - ")."{$u-id} - {$txt}{$cr}";
$lf = LOGNAME.date(' D M j - Y').'.log';
$fp = fopen($lf,'a');
if (flock($fp, LOCK_EX))
{
fwrite($fp,$txt,1024);
flock($fp, LOCK_UN);
}
fclose($fp);
}
}
This was for multiple script calls logging to the same file, $u_id
made it easy to group the entries. The date() made it easy to sort the
entries. May help, may not. But like I said, I now log to a db.
