Simple PHP Logger
=================

[](#simple-php-logger)

Simple PHP logger, save logs in files.

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

[](#installation)

Use [Composer](http://getcomposer.org) to install Logger into your project:

```
composer require evolutionphp/logger
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

1. Logging Directory Path: directory where log files will be saved.

```
$config['path'] = __DIR__.'/logs/';
```

2. File Extension: set the extension of your log files. Leaving it blank will default to 'php'.

```
$config['ext'] = 'php';
```

3. Log File Permissions: The file system permissions to be applied on newly created log files.
    This MUST be an integer (no quotes) and you MUST use octal integer notation (i.e. 0700, 0644, etc.)

```
   $config['file_permissions'] = 0644;
```

4. Logging Level: You can enable error logging by setting a level over zero. The level determines what gets logged. Threshold options are:
    0 = Disables logging, Error logging TURNED OFF
    1 = Error Messages (including PHP errors)
    2 = Debug Messages
    3 = Informational Messages
    4 = All Messages

```
$config['level'] = 1;
//OR Debug Messages and Informational Messages, without Error Messages
$config['level'] = array(2,3);
```

5. Date Format: Each item that is logged has an associated date. You can use PHP date codes to set your own date formatting

```
$config['date_format'] = 'Y-m-d H:i:s';
```

**Initialize**

```
$logger = new \EvolutionPHP\Logger\Log($config);
//Write logs
$logger->write_log('error','This is an error message.');
$logger->write_log('debug','This is a debug message.');
$logger->write_log('info','This is an info message.');
```

If you already initialize the class, you can call an instance without rewriting the configuration

```
function log_message($level, $message){
    $logger = \EvolutionPHP\Logger\Log::instance();
    $logger->write_log($level, $message);
}
log_mesage('error','This is a second error.');
```
