phpsyslog
=========

[](#phpsyslog)

A minimalist, simple [PSR-3](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-3-logger-interface.md)logger implementation which logs to a [POSIX syslog](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/closelog.html).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This class requires PHP 5.4 or later, but we recommend using the latest available version of PHP as a matter of principle. It has two dependencies, the [FIG](http://www.php-fig.org) PSR-3 interface, linked above, and [IcecaveStudios/isolater](https://github.com/IcecaveStudios/isolator) which is used to isolate global functions to make them more easily tested.

It is installable and autoloadable via Composer as [cxj/phpsyslog](https://packagist.org/packages/cxj/phpsyslog)from [Packagist](https://packagist.org/).

Alternatively, [download a release](https://github.com/cxj/phpsyslog/releases)from GitHub, or clone this repository. Then require or include its *autoload.php* file.

Quality
-------

[](#quality)

This class attempts to comply with [PSR-1](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-1-basic-coding-standard.md), [PSR-2](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style-guide.md), and [PSR-4](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-4-autoloader.md). If you notice compliance oversights, please send a patch via pull request.

This package is unit tested using [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de).
