README
======

[](#readme)

Logger module for basic intuitive logging in php. Severity levels are based on those for *syslog* found in [RFC5424](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424). This module is a starting point from which you can evolve your logging needs as your system grows. The simplest and default way of using it is

```
use gregoryv\logger\Logger;

$log = new Logger();
$log->info('something');

$x = 'something';
$log->debugf('Variable $x=%s', $x);

$log->turn('off debug'); // for this logger only
$log->debug('this will not be written');

$log->turn('off all warn'); // for this and all subsequently created loggers

```

The logger has methods for each severity level defined by [RFC5424 6.2.1](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424#section-6.2.1). That means you do not care much about where the messages end up initially, which surprisingly, is in the syslog.
