log4php

[alex]

Hi,

Do you have any news about log4php ?
The latest release I've found is beta 0.9 dating back to dec 10th 2003.
Is this project dead ?
Do you know any other good tool to log in php ?

thanks,

I always use the server logs. Much more accurate.

Server logs ? They just give you unfiltered infos about accesses and errors,
no ?
They can't tell you "this user subscribed at that time" or "warning, this
function returned abnormal results", ...
Server logs are generated by... the server so you only have limited control
on it.
When you generate you own logs, you can trace exactly what you want, being
warned by e-mail in case of big bugs, etc.

ok, but it seems to me that (tell me if I'm getting wrong),

1. many users can't access the error.log file on a shared production server,
2. if there are several websites on the same machine, it's gonna be the mess
in the php error.log file.

moreover, log4php allows you to choose a pre-configured appender : rolling
textfile, mail, database, ...
tell me if all this is possible with something else than log4php, I'm
interested.

thx,

Apache servers can be configured so that each user has its own log. And
yes, the logs contain a lot of information. But it's quite easy to
write a filter to pull out the information you want and throw away the rest.
