# KLogger: Simple Logging for PHP
A project written by [Kenny Katzgrau](http://twitter.com/katzgrau) and [Dan Horrigan](http://twitter.com/dhrrgn).
## About
KLogger is an easy-to-use [PSR-3](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-3-logger-interface.md)
compliant logging class for PHP. It isn't naive about
file permissions (which is expected). It was meant to be a class that you could
quickly include into a project and have working right away.
## Installation
### Composer
From the Command Line:
```
composer require katzgrau/klogger:1.0.*
```
In your `composer.json`:
``` json
{
"require": {
"katzgrau/klogger": "1.0.*"
}
}
```
## Basic Usage
``` php
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$users = [
[
'name' => 'Kenny Katzgrau',
'username' => 'katzgrau',
],
[
'name' => 'Dan Horrigan',
'username' => 'dhrrgn',
],
];
$logger = new Katzgrau\KLogger\Logger(__DIR__.'/logs');
$logger->info('Returned a million search results');
$logger->error('Oh dear.');
$logger->debug('Got these users from the Database.', $users);
```
### Output
```
[2014-03-20 3:35:43.762437] [INFO] Returned a million search results
[2014-03-20 3:35:43.762578] [ERROR] Oh dear.
[2014-03-20 3:35:43.762795] [DEBUG] Got these users from the Database.
0: array(
'name' => 'Kenny Katzgrau',
'username' => 'katzgrau',
)
1: array(
'name' => 'Dan Horrigan',
'username' => 'dhrrgn',
)
```
## PSR-3 Compliant
KLogger is [PSR-3](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-3-logger-interface.md)
compliant. This means it implements the `Psr\Log\LoggerInterface`.
[See Here for the interface definition.](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-3-logger-interface.md#3-psrlogloggerinterface)
## Setting the Log Level Threshold
You can use the `Psr\Log\LogLevel` constants to set Log Level Threshold, so that
any messages below that level, will not be logged.
### Default Level
The default level is `DEBUG`, which means everything will be logged.
### Available Levels
``` php
<?php
use Psr\Log\LogLevel;
// These are in order of highest priority to lowest.
LogLevel::EMERGENCY;
LogLevel::ALERT;
LogLevel::CRITICAL;
LogLevel::ERROR;
LogLevel::WARNING;
LogLevel::NOTICE;
LogLevel::INFO;
LogLevel::DEBUG;
```
### Example
``` php
<?php
// The
$logger = new Katzgrau\KLogger\Logger('/var/log/', Psr\Log\LogLevel::WARNING);
$logger->error('Uh Oh!'); // Will be logged
$logger->info('Something Happened Here'); // Will be NOT logged
```
## Why use KLogger?
Why not? Just drop it in and go. If it saves you time and does what you need,
go for it! Take a line from the book of our C-code fathers: "`build` upon the
work of others".
## Who uses KLogger?
Klogger has been used in projects at:
* The University of Iowa
* The University of Laverne
* The New Jersey Institute of Technology
* Middlesex Hospital in NJ
Additionally, it's been used in numerous projects, both commercial and personal.
