Re: [PHP] static Logging class?
Hello Lars, I would apply the Singleton Pattern where you would have 1 instance for you entire application. As far as whether or not to use a static method, I would weigh the options. If you just want to call a method that you know will not have to be changed in the future and that method will not be using any pre-defined properties, then it makes sense to call a static method. Bear in mind that static methods can not be overridden.

Re: [PHP] static Logging class?
Make a real classed object that you pass to various objects that need it. Otherwise you make your life way harder for unit testing. Don't have a class that self-enforces that it's a singleton. That way lies pain. In particular, I recommend using or writing a class based on the PSR-3 recommendation: https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-3-logger-interface.md There's even stock code for the interface and some useful base classes available: https://packagist.org/packages/psr/log And for added fun, there are already publicly available open source libraries that implement PSR-3 that you can just drop in and use, such as: https://packagist.org/packages/monolog/monolog (If that's too heavy for you, writing your own PSR-3 compatible logger is dead-simple.) I'm sure you're about to say zOMG this is just a hobby project, I don't need something that fancy and all injected and shit! If it's a simple project, use a simple container to do all the hard work for you: https://packagist.org/packages/pimple/pimple (That's 100 lines of executable code. Quite powerful, dead simple to use.) Cheers. --Larry Garfield, FIG member On 03/03/2013 07:26 AM, Lars Nielsen wrote: Hi, I work on a little hobby-project, and i want to make a oo logging facility.

Re: [PHP] static Logging class?
Thanks a lot Larry! This PSR-3 looks just the way to do such things! :-) I hope i chat with you at DrupalCon Praha! http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=18644639 Best regards Lars Nielsen Make a real classed object that you pass to various objects that need it.
