syslog
Description
bool syslog ( int priority, string message )
syslog() generates a log message that will be distributed by the system logger. priority is a combination of the facility and the level, values for which are given in the next section. The remaining argument is the message to send, except that the two characters %m will be replaced by the error message string (strerror) corresponding to the present value of errno.
Constant | Description |
---|---|
LOG_EMERG | system is unusable |
LOG_ALERT | action must be taken immediately |
LOG_CRIT | critical conditions |
LOG_ERR | error conditions |
LOG_WARNING | warning conditions |
LOG_NOTICE | normal, but significant, condition |
LOG_INFO | informational message |
LOG_DEBUG | debug-level message |
For information on setting up a user defined log handler, see the syslog.conf(5) Unix manual page. More information on the syslog facilities and option can be found in the man pages for syslog(3) on Unix machines.
On Windows NT, the syslog service is emulated using the Event Log.
注: Use of LOG_LOCAL0 through LOG_LOCAL7 for the facility parameter of openlog() is not available in Windows.
See also define_syslog_variables(), openlog() and closelog().

I had a problem trying to issue a syslog message with IIS 5.1 under Windows XP. The function call seemed to succeed, but the event viewer showed that no entry was made.
Finally I found out that the user account used for the webserver (IUSR_<Computername>) did not have enough permissions to issue syslog alerts. I changed this by adding this user to the Users group instead of only Guest.

This work for me, to redirect logs to a separate syslog file
put this line in your /etc/syslog.conf :
local0.debug /var/log/php.log
Then restart syslogd:
/etc/init.d/syslog restart
php example:
<?php
define_syslog_variables();
openlog("TextLog", LOG_PID, LOG_LOCAL0);
$data = date("Y/m/d H:i:s");
syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"Messagge: $data");
closelog();
?>

The message string sent to the log file is limited to 500 characters.

If you have php.ini setup to send PHP errors to syslog, they will all get dumped into /var/log/messages (at least it does with RedHat 9 by default). I wanted to figure out how to get PHP errors to go to their own syslog file.
After some trial and error, I figured out what facility and priority PHP uses, which is "user.notice". So, to get your PHP errors going to a separate syslog file, put this line in your /etc/syslog.conf :
user.notice /var/log/php.log
Then restart syslogd:
/etc/init.d/syslog restart
Why PHP uses "user" as the facility I'm not sure, probably because it's the only one that works under Windows?

This *does* actually goto the system log as configured in /etc/syslog.conf (such as /var/log/messages), it doesn't goto Apache's ErrorLog (such as /var/log/httpd/error_log). At least under my Debian Potato with Apache 1.3.23.
Use error_log() to be sure it gets into Apache's ErrorLog.

To set up a custom log file via the syslog daemon (FreeBSD in this case)...
Add to /etc/syslog.conf a line that says all errors from the httpd process are to go to a file called (for example) /var/log/httpd-php.log
!httpd
*.* {tab} /var/log/httpd-php.log
Note the tab, being a tab character! Next create a blank file to be written to. I'm sure there are 1e+6 ways to do this, but I choose
# cat > httpd-php.log << EOF
? EOF
Finally find your syslog daemon and send it a sighup to inform it of the change:
# ps ax | grep syslogd
133 ?? Ss 0:07.23 syslogd -s
# kill -1 133
Et voila! Php syslog calls will now arrive in /var/log/httpd-php.log

With FreeBSD I can use: syslog(LOG_INFO,"test");
BSD/OS does not support this, I had to use the literal values for the priority (158: local3.info):
syslog(158,"test");

Example of where to look for syslog's output: /var/log/httpd/access_log
(on Red Hat Linux Secure Server v6.2).

For the-header-file-enabled:
man 3 syslog defines the priorities, but not the integer values. For that you'll need to read your system header file.
Let's suppose I want to log an informational message in the mail log (which happens to be true). The man page tells me I want LOG_MAIL|LOG_INFO. So I look in /usr/include/sys/syslog.h and find (this happens to be Linux, your system could be different):
#define LOG_INFO 6 /* informational */
#define LOG_MAIL (2<<3) /* mail system */
2<<3 means shift 3 bits left, which means multiply by 8. So I want 2*8 + 6 = 22. syslog(22,"this message will appear in the mail log"); And indeed it does.

The text was taken directly out of a unix man page. On a unix system do man 3 syslog and you wil get the info

In Windows NT, use the following values of priority:
1 = error,
6 = info
I do not normally do stuff like this, however I really feel including Doing anything enjoyable tonight so i am living from the edge a little tonight.I attempted this after just before along with the girl I singled out and had a date with turned out to be really clever, and had me fooled for a total week that she wasn’t a psycho.I moved here inside the final year, so I really do not know extremely a lot of people, and i am still becoming myself proven here.Maybe she has a bit bit of experience, or perhaps is completely new to the situation, or she basically could uncover it challenging to muster up the courage to ask for this kind of thing.All in all, we would have exchanged a single imperfect marriage for another, with a lot heartache and suffering in amongst for both ourselves and our children, and nobody could be any happier than they already were.
