Re: [PHP] How to know wheter a message will be logged or not

[Marek Kilimajer]

Current version of PHP cannot forsee the future, this will be worked on 
when PHP5 is out and stabilized.

Untill then you have to make your own judgments, for example if the 
array you feed into very_slow_func() has more then 1486 elements, your 
code will time out.

Hi all,

I'm using syslog() function to log messages. My problem is enough
typical. An example:
syslog ( LOG_DEBUG, "The function output is: " . very_slow_func () );

Since very_slow_func() is, as written, very slow, I would like to know
in advance if this message will be actually logged or not, so that I
could write:
if ( is_logged ( LOG_DEBUG ) )
  syslog ( LOG_DEBUG, "The function output is: " . very_slow_func () );
I cannot find in PHP some is_logged() equivalent.

Any help?

Thanks.
