The first would start with the current Log package and adapt it to PHP5's syntax. This would largely be a translation task, but I think some new features could be added during the initial pass. The result would be functionality equivalent to the current Log package, though, including most of the API. The second option would be to adopt one of the existing PHP5-oriented logging packages as PEAR's Log2. I know of these two: http://cvs.horde.org/framework/Log/ http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.log.html Writing a new Log2 package essentially from scratch would not be my preferred choice because it represents unproven code in a space where there are many proven solutions. That's not to discount the quality of the code you've posted above, of course; my point is more about the established concepts and trial-by-fire that the existing logging packages offer. -- Jon Parise (jon of php.net) :: The PHP Project (http://www.php.net/)
