README

A simple PHP library for logging.

Installation

You can install the library using Composer. Run the following command:

composer require gokhankurtulus/logger

Usage

• Inheritance
• Securing the Logs

use Logger\Logger;

Logger::setFolderPath(__DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'Logs');
Logger::setFileName('app.log');
Logger::iniSet(true, false, E_ALL);

Logger::log('this is app log message', 'this is log title');

Logs/app.log output:

[01-01-2024 15:00:00 - Europe/Istanbul] - this is log title
this is log message

Inheritance

You can inherit from Logger class if you want to categorize your logs. You must override the $folderPath and $fileName parameters for conflicts.

class PDOLogger extends \Logger\Logger
{
    protected static string $folderPath = "";
    protected static string $fileName = "";
}

use Logger\Logger;

Logger::setFolderPath(__DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'Logs');
Logger::setFileName('app.log');

// for log_errors, display_errors, error_reporting and
// error_log will be Logger::getFolderPath() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . Logger::getFileName()
Logger::iniSet(true, false, E_ALL);

// You can give specific path for classes,
// by default it will be Logger's folder path
PDOLogger::setFolderPath(__DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'DBLogs');
PDOLogger::setFileName('pdo.log');

Logger::log('this is app log message', 'this is log title');
PDOLogger::log('this is pdo log message');

Logs/app.log output:

[01-01-2024 15:00:00 - Europe/Istanbul] - this is log title
this is app log message

DBLogs/pdo.log output:

[01-01-2024 15:00:00 - Europe/Istanbul] - 
this is pdo log message

Public Methods

Securing the Logs

Log files may contain sensitive information such as database, credentials or other confidential data. It is important to secure the files and restrict access to prevent unauthorized exposure of this information. The security of your logs is your responsibility. However, please attention to the following steps;

• Place the log folder outside the public web directory or in directory that is not directly accessible by the web server.
• Set file permissions to ensure that only authorized users or processes can read the log files.
• Add the log folder to your project's .gitignore file. This ensures that the file is not included in version control systems, preventing accidental exposure of sensitive information in your code repository.
