So I just recently updated my Script Logger app, a small PHP web app meant to drop in and log various errors and warnings generated by a larger PHP web application, including pages that might take too long. This was made in response to liking the ability to see what problems may have occurred on a server via Zend Platform that I tried out. So I decided to make a simple one using PHP’s functions for setting error and exception handlers. This isn’t the perfect solution compared to Zend Platform since it’s done with PHP code, and with the handlers, they can’t catch fatal errors. Maybe some day someone, or me if I ever learned how, could write a simple extension for catching all the various errors including the ones unable to be caught within PHP for logging. I’m thinking Xdebug is a good resource for this since it catches all the errors etc, and it would be a good companion to someone with a Xdebug PHP setup to have a free Zend Platform like alternative.

My Script Logger requires PHP 5.1 or better, the PDO extension to be installed (which it often is by default, at least if you build PHP), and sqlite2 or sqlite driver for PDO installed. You can possibly install these via pear/pecl too if you don’t already have them. To install just drop it on your web site, edit config.php to see if the error settings are to your liking, make db folder writable, and you should be good to go.
