Req #51118 [Com]: Allow multiple simultaneous syslog connections

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51118&edit=1 ID: 51118 Comment by: fat@php.net Reported by: sylvain at abstraction dot fr Summary: Allow multiple simultaneous syslog connections Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Feature/Change Request Operating System: all PHP Version: 5.2.12 New Comment: I just attached a patch which should do the trick. I don't know if it'll be accepted by the dev team who handle this part of PHP. openlog() returns a ressource instead of a bool. closelog() and syslog() have now a last and optional parameter: a context ressource. Everything which was working before, should still work. The only change is the return value of openlog() which should be strictely compared (openlog(...) !== true). here is a sample test script: <?php syslog(LOG_ERR, "test 1 on ressource #0"); // Jul 23 05:20:22 wild php: test 1 on ressource #0 $r1 = openlog("test syslog #1", LOG_PID, LOG_SYSLOG); $r2 = openlog("test syslog #2", LOG_PID, LOG_SYSLOG); syslog(LOG_ERR, "test on ressource #1", $r1); // Jul 23 05:20:22 wild test syslog #1[24144]: test on ressource #1 syslog(LOG_ERR, "test on ressource #2", $r2); // Jul 23 05:20:22 wild test syslog #2[24144]: test on ressource #2 closelog($r1); closelog($r2); syslog(LOG_ERR, "test 2 on ressource #0"); // Jul 23 05:20:22 wild php[24144]: test 2 on ressource #0 openlog("test syslog #0", LOG_PID, LOG_SYSLOG); syslog(LOG_ERR, "test 3 on ressource #0"); // Jul 23 05:20:22 wild test syslog #0[24144]: test 3 on ressource #0 closelog(); syslog(LOG_ERR, "test 4 on ressource #0"); // Jul 23 05:20:22 wild php[24144]: test 4 on ressource #0 ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-23 05:23:41] fat@php.net The following patch has been added/updated: Patch Name: php_syslog_multiple_context.patch Revision: 1279855421 URL: http://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug=51118&patch=php_syslog_multiple_context.patch&revision=1279855421 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-22 18:57:36] sylvain at abstraction dot fr Description: ------------ the openlog function does not return a resource like would do the fopen or any database connection function. That implementation limits to 1 the simultaneous number of connections possible to syslog and this is problematic when we aim to use syslog with different log locals. Expected result: ---------------- $syslog_local0 = openlog('foo', LOG_NDELAY, LOG_LOCAL0); syslog($syslog_local0, LOG_WARNING, "blah"); $syslog_local1 = openlog('bar', LOG_NDELAY, LOG_LOCAL1); syslog($syslog_local1, LOG_WARNING, "blah blah"); closelog($syslog_local0); closelog($syslog_local1); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51118&edit=1
