The target: - records log messages in a file - allows you to configure log files rotation - provides the ability to compress rotated log files Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.0 or higher. Installation ------------ [](#installation) The package could be installed with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org): ``` composer require yiisoft/log-target-file ``` General usage ------------- [](#general-usage) Creating a rotator: ``` $rotator = new \Yiisoft\Log\Target\File\FileRotator( $maxFileSize, $maxFiles, $fileMode, $compressRotatedFiles ); ``` - `$maxFileSize (int)` - The maximum file size, in kilo-bytes. Defaults to `10240`, meaning 10MB. - `$maxFiles (int)` - The number of files used for rotation. Defaults to `5`. - `$fileMode (int|null)` - The permission to be set for newly created files. Defaults to `null`. - `$compressRotatedFiles (bool)` - Whether to compress rotated files with gzip. Defaults to `false`. Creating a target: ``` $fileTarget = new \Yiisoft\Log\Target\File\FileTarget( $logFile, $rotator, $dirMode, $fileMode ); ``` - `$logFile (string)` - The log file path. Defaults to `/tmp/app.log`. - `$rotator (\Yiisoft\Log\Target\File\FileRotatorInterface|null)` - Defaults to `null`, which means that log files will not be rotated. - `$dirMode (int)` - The permission to be set for newly created directories. Defaults to `0775`. - `$fileMode (int|null)` - The permission to be set for newly created log files. Defaults to `null`. Creating a logger: ``` $logger = new \Yiisoft\Log\Logger([$fileTarget]); ``` For use in the [Yii framework](https://www.yiiframework.com/), see the configuration files: - [`config/di.php`](https://github.com/yiisoft/log-target-file/blob/master/config/di.php) - [`config/params.php`](https://github.com/yiisoft/log-target-file/blob/master/config/params.php) Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) For a description of using the logger, see the [yiisoft/log](https://github.com/yiisoft/log) package. - [Yii guide to logging](https://github.com/yiisoft/docs/blob/master/guide/en/runtime/logging.md) - [Internals](docs/internals.md) If you need help or have a question, the [Yii Forum](https://forum.yiiframework.com/c/yii-3-0/63) is a good place for that.
