Note Submitter: CBdeVidal.jk1 (AT) GMail (DOT) com ---- /* I use this very handy function instead of echo most of the time. It simultaneously displays a message to the screen and a log with a datestamp. Probably only works in Windows. I only run it from the commandline, so I don't know how it would behave on a website. */ define('LOG_FILE', 'C:\Backups\Backup.log'); function message($message) { // If we forgot to add a new line to the end... if (substr($message, -1) != "\n") { // ...add it. $message = $message . "\n"; } echo $message; // Log messages need a Windows line feed $message = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $message); if (!$fh = @fopen(LOG_FILE, "a")) { return FALSE; } // [January 1st, 1900 2:13:45pm] Message... if (@fwrite($fh, "[".date("F jS, Y g:i:sa")."] ".$message)) { @fclose($fh); return TRUE; } else { @fclose($fh); return FALSE; } }
