This is a very simple class that will allow your scripts to log to a file, i will also show how to extend this class so that you can have multiple data sources.

This class is using a singleton pattern at the moment, this is done so that no more than one instance of this class can be instanciated at any time.

<?php

final class Logger {

  private static
$_instance;

  private function
__construct() {

  }

  static function
instance() {
    if (!isset(
self::$_instance)) {
     
$c = __CLASS__;
     
self::$_instance = new $c;
    }
    return
self::$_instance;
  }

 
// Prevent users to clone the instance
 
public function __clone() {
    throw new
Exception('Cannot clone the logger object.');
  }
   
  public function
log($message = '') {
   
$filename = BASE_PATH.'/log.txt';
   
$file = fopen($filename, 'a+');
   
fwrite($file, $message."\r\n");
   
fclose($file);
  }
}

?>



to use this you would do something like the following

<?php

include_once('Logger.php');
Logger::instance()->log('your message here');

?>



Now what if you wanted to be able to store the stuff in the database? You could easilly extend the class as such

<?php

abstract class Logger {

  public function
__construct() {

  }

  abstract function
log($message = '') {

  }
}

class
FileLogger extends Logger {

  public function
__construct() {

  }

  public function
log($message = '') {
   
$filename = BASE_PATH.'/log.txt';
   
$file = fopen($filename, 'a+');
   
fwrite($file, $message."\r\n");
   
fclose($file);
  }

}

class
DatabaseLogger extends Logger {

  private
$_db;

  public function
__construct($db = NULL) {
    if(
$db instanceof Database) $this->_db = $db;
    else throw new
Exception(__METHOD__ . ' requires an object of type Database');
  }

  public function
log($message = NULL) {
    if(!
is_null($message) && $message != '') $this->_db->Query("INSERT INTO log (message) VALUES('".$message."')");
  }

}
?>


Now when you want to use this you would do something like the following example

<?php

$log
= new FileLogger();
$log->log('Writing to a file');
$log = new DatabaseLogger($db_obj);
$log->log('Writing to the database.');
$log = null;

?>


I hope this example has helped people :) I know it's simple but i mainly submitted it to show how to easilly extend objects in PHP5 I have one more that i will submit that may show a better example ;)
Enjoy.
