Zend_Log is a component for general purpose logging.
It supports multiple log backends, formatting messages sent to the log,
and filtering messages from being logged. These functions are divided
into the following objects:
A Log (instance of
Zend_Log) is the object that your application uses the most. You can have as many Log objects as you like; they do not interact. A Log object must contain at least one Writer, and can optionally contain one or more Filters.A Writer (inherits from
Zend_Log_Writer_Abstract) is responsible for saving data to storage.A Filter (implements
Zend_Log_Filter_Interface) blocks log data from being saved. A filter may be applied to an individual Writer, or to a Log where it is applied before all Writers. In either case, filters may be chained.A Formatter (implements
Zend_Log_Formatter_Interface) can format the log data before it is written by a Writer. Each Writer has exactly one Formatter.
