RE: Convert to array from XML

[Michael Sole]

Thanks!!!!!

Not sure why this isn't better documented. If multiple arrays didn't make my 
eyes bleed I would offer to doc this better. However it seems a more intuitive 
approach would make more sense. Something like:

Array('logger' => array('param'=>'value', 'param2'=>'value'));

Or something like that, we don't need to completely mimic XML, I think

We are using log4php quite extensively in our application. We began by using 
the XML config file but found that too much of a hassle as we end up with lots 
of them. The array method of configuring loggers seems much more efficient but 
I am having difficulty converting our xml file to the array. I am sadly not 
able to find a good enough example to use as a template. Can someone please 
help me by converting this XML into an array?

<log4php:configuration 
xmlns:log4php="http://logging.apache.org/log4php/";<http://logging.apache.org/log4php/>>
    <appender name="myAppender" class="LoggerAppenderDailyFile">
                <layout class="LoggerLayoutTTCC" />
    <param name="datePattern" value="Y-m-d" />
        <param name="file" 
value="/var/www/virtual/derver.net/michael/htdocs/log/michaeldev%s.log" />
    </appender>
                <appender name="myAppender" class="LoggerAppenderEcho">
    <layout class="LoggerLayoutTTCC" />
</appender>
    <root>
        <level value="WARN" />
        <appender_ref ref="myAppender" />
    </root>
</log4php:configuration>

Also, I have had trouble (in the past) with relative paths in the XML, I assume 
the array method won't have these issues?

Hey Michael,

here's your XML as array:

array(
    'appenders' => array(
        'myAppender'=>array(
            'class'=> 'LoggerAppenderDailyFile',
            'layout'=> array(
                'class'=>'LoggerLayoutTTCC'
            ),
            'params'=>array(
                'datePattern'=>'Y-m-d',
                
'file'=>'/var/www/virtual/derver.net/michael/htdocs/log/michaeldev%s.log'
            )
        ),
        'myAppender'=>array(
            'class'=> 'LoggerAppenderEcho',
            'layout'=> array(
                'class'=>'LoggerLayoutTTCC'
            )
        )
    ),
    'rootLogger'=> array(
        'level'=>'WARN',
        'appenders'=>array('myAppender')
    )
)

The params-option in the documentation (array as config) is missing.
