#39812 [Opn->Bgs]: priority order in syslog() unclear

ID: 39812 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: wv at xs2mail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: LOG_EMERG has highest priority, LOG_DEBUG has lowest priority - the table really is in descending orded. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-13 10:24:03] wv at xs2mail dot com Description: ------------ Table 1 in the documentation on the "syslog" function says "syslog() Priorities (in descending order)". The table starts with LOG_EMERG, which is defined as 0 (zero). As is always the case with priority lists, one is easily misunderstood. If A has a higher priority than B, it means in this case A < B. Suggested solution: 1) Place the values of the constants in the table explicitly. 2) or put an example in that shows how to compare priorities. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39812&edit=1
