Logging With PHP - Closing Time
( Page 9 of 9 )

And that's about it for the moment. In this article, I offered you a brief overview of logging in PHP, demonstrating how you can use built-in functions, off-the-shelf libraries or your own code to easily and efficiently create logs of the activity taking place in your application. I demonstrated logging to a file, to a database, to an email address and to the console, and wrapped things up with a couple of simple examples that demonstrated how logs could be built and analyzed in a real-world application.

I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you'd like to know more about the topics discussed in the previous pages, here are some links you should bookmark:
