log with local time information and a line break at the end up vote 3 down vote favorite 3 I need to write the local time information , the exception message to a php log file. I don't know why I can't get the format correct. The script I use is this: error_log('['.date("F j, Y, g:i a").']'.$msg."
", 3, $phperrorPath); There are two problem with php set_error_handler this: The date is not written in local time, instead it's default to the GMT+0 time; I want to write the machine time information to the log After the file is written, it's not break to another line.

\n", 3, $phperrorPath); Lines will not be concatenated when using "3" as the second argument to error_log, and using "0" will write the output to the default location specified in php.ini. "2" is no longer an option, so I think manually concatenating the line break is the way to go. See: http://php.net/manual/en/function.error-log.php Also, take a look at localtime share

Solved php error_log date and time format settings Posted on 2012-06-29 Scripting Languages PHP 1 Verified Solution 5 Comments 1,491 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1073164/write-to-error-log-with-local-time-information-and-a-line-break-at-the-end Views Last Modified: 2012-07-09 I know I should know this but it's driving me nuts. How do you set the date and time format in php error_log(). I have set the default_time_zone setting and made sure the system date and time zones are correct. Here is what the error log puts out [30-Jun-2012 01:17:09 UTC] test [30-Jun-2012 01:17:10 UTC] test [30-Jun-2012 01:32:27 UTC] test https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27775840/php-error-log-date-and-time-format-settings.html [30-Jun-2012 01:32:32 UTC] test..... etc I want it to put out [2012-06-30 22:17:09] test [2012-06-30 22:17:09] test [2012-06-30 22:17:09] test [2012-06-30 22:17:09] test.... etc I would prefer it doesn't use UTC as I have set my timezone to 'America/New_York' We are in Florida so it should be reporting as EST but the most important part is to have the error_log file record the system time and in the correct format ie: 'Y-m-d H:i:s' Thanks for the help. I should know this stuff but for years I have been using an error log at work that records the date properly. I'm just not at work now :) 0 Question by:Mark Brady Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google LVL 20 Best Solution byMark Brady I'm a little dissapointed by the lack of response to this question so I'm going to request it closed.

I've done some searching on the web but found nothing and am afraid I'm not sure whether a bug or by design but it seems strange enough to submit here Reproduce code: --------------- php.ini php error log ------- log_errors = On error_log = myerrors.log mycode.php ---------- error_reporting(E_STRICT); date_default_timezone_set("UTC"); SOMEBADCONSTANT date_default_timezone_set("Africa/Johannesburg"); ANOTHERBADCONSTANT resulting myerrors.log ---------------------- [06-Jun-2008 00:41:34] PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant SOMEBADCONSTANT - assumed 'SOMEBADCONSTANT' in /prj/mycode.php on line 3 [06-Jun-2008 00:41:34] PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant ANOTHERBADCONSTANT - assumed 'ANOTHERBADCONSTANT' in /prj/mycode.php on line 5 Expected result: ---------------- As Africa/Johannesburg is 2 hours ahead of UTC, I would have expected the second myerrors.log entry to read [06-Jun-2008 02:41:34] PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant ANOTHERBADCONSTANT - assumed 'ANOTHERBADCONSTANT' in /prj/mycode.php on line 5 And even if the comment is that date_default_timezone_set has no effect, I saw the same when changing date.timezone in php.ini The error logging appears to ignore it completely and simply use the system time Patches Add a PatchPull Requests Add a Pull RequestHistoryAllCommentsChangesGit/SVN commitsRelated reports [2008-07-14 10:06 UTC] derick@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug.

Basics Configuration Settings Built-In Logging Functions Logging Levels Application Error Logging Custom Logging with JSON Exceptions ↑ 0 PHP Logging Basics This guide explores the basics of logging in PHP, where to find PHP logs, and how these logs help you more effectively troubleshoot problems and monitor your PHP application. There are a couple of different elements you’ll want to consider logging: Errors emitted by the PHP engine itself when a core function fails or if code can’t be parsed Custom errors that your application triggers, usually caused by missing or incorrect user input Activities in your application that you may want to analyze at a later time, such as recording when a user account is updated or content in a CMS is updated Configuration Settings Let’s start by surveying how the PHP engine can be configured to display and log error output. These settings are useful to review if you’re setting up a new server or trying to figure out where errors are being logged on a server that someone else has configured. Default Configuration By default, PHP configuration pertaining to errors is found in the following directives within the configuration file php.ini. Here is where you can find your php.ini file in common distributions of Linux: Table of Default Configuration Paths OS Path Type Debian-Based (Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.) /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini Apache module Redhat/Fedora/CentOS /etc/php.ini All PHP versions OpenSUSE /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini Apache module Here are common directives you can configure in this file relevant to logging: Table of Logging Directives Directive Default Setting Recommend Production Server Setting Description *docref_root 1 0 An error format containing a documentation page reference **display_errors 1 0 Defines whether error output is sent along with regular output display_startup_errors 0 0 Whether to display PHP startup sequence errors error_append_string null null String to output after an error message ***error_log null “/path/to/log/file” File path to a writable (by web server user) error log file.
