## Maelezo

As PHP moves forward, so must WordPress. This plugin helps WordPress use the tools
of modern PHP. Monolog — PHP’s most popular logging package — is a composer package.
Since WordPress doesn’t currently have a universal way to support composer, this
WordPress plugin is meant to start bridging the gap. This logger is [PSR-3](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-3-logger-interface.md)
compliant, a PHP standard which Monolog also uses.

### Logging Levels

There are 8 logging levels available, [defined by RFC 5424](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424).
The levels specified in
 order from the most severe to the least severe:

 * **Emergency**: system is unusable
 * **Alert**: action must be taken immediately
 * **Critical**: critical conditions
 * **Error**: error conditions
 * **Warning**: warning conditions
 * **Notice**: normal but significant condition
 * **Info**: informational messages
 * **Debug**: debug-level messages

## Installation

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

 1. Upload the `wp-debug-logger` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Enable debugging in your `wp-config.php`
 4. // in your wp-config.php
     define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true ); define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’,
    false ); define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true ); define( ‘WP_DEBUG_MINIMUM_LEVEL’, ‘debug’);
 5. // For good measure, this will hide errors from being displayed on-screen
     @ini_set(‘
    display_errors’, 0);
 6. As you write your code, sprinkle in these Log methods.

#### Minimum Level

WP_DEBUG_MINIMUM_LEVEL is a new constant that determines the minimum severity level
you wish to write to your _wp-content/debug.log_ file. In your _development_ environment,
I recommend using `debug` so you can see all the errors being written. For your 
_production_ environment, I’d recommend the `error` level, so you can capture all
the significant problems. Here are the values to use: **emergency, alert, critical,
error, warning, notice, info, debug**. Note: they’re all lowercase, as the value
is case-sensitive.

#### Displaying Errors

In your **development** environment, you may choose to set `WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY` to`
true`, so the error messages show in your browser. However, I **strongly recommend**
that you do not change it, for your _production_ environment. These settings can
be placed anywhere above the line.

    ```
    /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
    ```

## FAQ

### Why not just use the error_log function?

You still can. However, the plugin will add value to your logging efforts. Using
this logger will add structure io the debug.log file, _and_ give you a modern PHP
interface to control the amount of logging in your website. The logging methods 
in this plugin also provide information about the severity of the error.

### Where can I find more documentation?

This project is [developed on Github](https://github.com/andrewwoods/wp-debug-logger).
There is a more complete readme there, with links to supplemental information.

### Why use PSR-3?

A PSR is a PHP Standard Recommendation. PSRs are use to create and maintain interoperability
between PHP-based frameworks and content management systems.
