Zend_Log_Formatter_Xml formats log data into
XML strings. By default, it automatically logs all items in the event
data array:
<?php
$writer = new Zend_Log_Writer_Stream('php://output');
$formatter = new Zend_Log_Formatter_Xml();
$writer->setFormatter($formatter);
$logger = new Zend_Log();
$logger->addWriter($writer);
$logger->info('informational message');
The code above outputs the following XML (space added for clarity):
<logEntry> <timestamp>2007-04-06T07:24:37-07:00</timestamp> <message>informational message</message> <priority>6</priority> <priorityName>INFO</priorityName> </logEntry>
It's possible to customize the root element as well as specify a mapping
of XML elements to the items in the event data array. The constructor
of Zend_Log_Formatter_Xml accepts a string with the name of
the root element as the first parameter and an associative array with
the element mapping as the second parameter:
<?php
$writer = new Zend_Log_Writer_Stream('php://output');
$formatter = new Zend_Log_Formatter_Xml('log',
array('msg' => 'message',
'level' => 'priorityName')
);
$writer->setFormatter($formatter);
$logger = new Zend_Log();
$logger->addWriter($writer);
$logger->info('informational message');
The code above changes the root element from its default of logEntry to log. It also maps the element msg to the event data item message. This results in the following output:
<log> <msg>informational message</msg> <level>INFO</level> </log>
