Added Advantages<\/h2>\n
\nI particularly like logging my errors to files because you can always open a shell on Linux\/Unix
\nand do ‘tail -f \/tmp\/article.log’ to view any errors in real time. Even if the site is not in a
\nproduction state it can still be of great benefit, provided your error handling is detailed
\nenough to lead you to the cause.<\/div>\n
\nAnother great advantage of logging to a file: if you have access to the config file for the
\nLinux\/Unix binary ‘logrotate’, you can rotate these files automatically. This will prevent
\nthem from growing too big and will provide an archive over several weeks or months.<\/div>\n
\nCiao<\/div>\n
\nAs stated, this is intended for the beginner programmer and is only one of a whole plethora of ways
\nto log your errors. The above example will log only the errors you send to it, which is obviously
\nnot the most optimal way to handle your errors. In the next article, I will delve into errors that
\ncome directly from the PHP parser.<\/div>\n
\nI hope this helps! Til next time….<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
