The LogLaddy is an implementation of the PSR-3 Logger Interface, but aimed at user interface messaging. It relies on \Psr\Log\LoggerTrait and writes direct log output through PHP's error_log().

Usage

To create messages outside of errors and exceptions, first initialise the LogLaddy, with a compatible state agent (for storing user messages)

$l = new LogLaddy(StateAgentInterface $agent);

Then call one of the messaging method:

// for detailed debug information
$l->debug($message, array $context = array())

// for interesting events 
$l->info($message, array $context = array())

// for normal but significant events (and success messages)
$l->notice($message, array $context = array())

// for exceptional occurrences that are not errors
$l->warning($message, array $context = array())

// for runtime errors that do not require immediate action but should typically be logged and monitored
$l->error($message, array $context = array())

// for critical condition (Application component unavailable, unexpected exception)
$l->critical($message, array $context = array())

// when action must be taken immediately (website down, database unavailable, etc.)
$l->alert($message, array $context = array())

// when the system is unusable
$l->emergency($message, array $context = array())
