There's no outright conflict, per se, but the expectations of each writer can create issues when logging objects (at least). Zend_Log_Writer_Firebug can handle objects, but Zend_Log_Writer_Db, at some point in its execution, apparently attempts to call the __toString() magic method on objects.
This causes a couple issues: 1) For classes, like Zend_Controller_Request_Http, that don't implement the __toString() magic method, logging an instance of that class causes Zend_Log_Writer_Db to throw an exception while Zend_Log_Writer_Firebug will handle it just fine. 2) What if you want to log the structure of, say, an instance of Zend_Form (for debugging), not the string representation? You could use something like print_r() and pass the output to the logger to accomodate Zend_Log_Writer_Db, but then you lose out on the object rendering feature of Zend_Log_Writer_Firebug. Does anyone have any suggestions for working around these issues? Thanks in advance, Ryan
