function for error logs.

[nagalenoj]

Dear friends,

    I want to log the error messages in a file. Now, I am managing with a simple write in a file.

    But, I have to rotate the files, if the file size is exceeded.

    For example, If the size of log.txt is exceeded, log.txt.1 has to be created and the old logs have to be in the log.txt.1 and log.txt has the recent logs. can anyone know any function to do this

 

    In perl, we have some packages like log::rotate.

Why not just use mysql a free database.

 

It pointless having million files in a year........

Because you might need to log, that you can't connect to database

 

Usually I save my logs like this

 

$logHandle = fopen("log".date("Ymd").".txt","wb");  //this will create a file named  log20081211.txt today, and log20081212.txt tomorrow

 

So I have one logfile for each day.

 

Would that satisfy you?
