note 74205 added to function.ob-start

Way to make all stdout and stderr write to a log from *inside* a php script. You simply need to make sure to call elog() every once in awhile to get output. It's a nice way to "daemonize" a script w.r.t. its logging. // This allows us to capture all stdout and stderr (and error_log() calls) // to this logfile... // The "collected output" will be flushed anytime "elog()" is used... ini_set("error_log", "/var/log/script.log"); ob_start(); function elog($str) { // get anything written to stdout or stderr that did *NOT* use elog() // and write it now... $writeme = ob_get_contents(); if ($writeme) { error_log($writeme); ob_end_clean(); ob_start(); } // now write message this method was called with error_log($str); } ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 207.241.238.199 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-start.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74205 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74205/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74205/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74205/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74205/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74205/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74205/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74205 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74205 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
