Slim log writer with sqlite - sqlite

Question

I have configured slim to write logs to log files as the standard way. But this is not effective when we want to search large and all the logs at a given time. So I want to write those logs to a separate sqlite DB.
My question is how can I set the log writer to write the messages (as done in the Zend framework) ?
P S: I know that I can create a PDO object and use the queries. But I don't want to change the existing code. Just prefer to set the writer and let the framework do the job for me.

Answer 1

I managed to do this as follows,
Create the sqlite connection
$sqlite = new PDO('sqlite:./logs/log.db');
Create my own LogWritter similar to the framework
<?php
/**
* Description of LogWritter
*
* #author Ruwantha.Lankathilaka
*/
class LogWritter {
protected $sqliteConnection;
public function __construct($connection) {
$this->sqliteConnection = $connection;
}
/**
* Write function will bypass the slim default LogWriter and will return
* last inserted log id which could be used as a reference
*
* #param type $object will get the error message
* #param type $level will get the error levels of \Slim\Log
* #return mix if successfully logged will return the last insert id, else
* will return false
*/
public function write($object,$level) {
//Determine label
$label = 'DEBUG';
$message = (string) $object;
switch ($level) {
case \Slim\Log::FATAL:
$label = 'FATAL';
break;
case \Slim\Log::ERROR:
$label = 'ERROR';
break;
case \Slim\Log::WARN:
$label = 'WARN';
break;
case \Slim\Log::INFO:
$label = 'INFO';
break;
}
$sqliteQuery = "INSERT INTO logs (lable,message) VALUES (:lable,:message)";
$statement = $this->sqliteConnection->prepare($sqliteQuery);
$result = $statement->execute(array(':lable'=>$label,':message'=>$message));
if(!empty($result)){
return $this->sqliteConnection->lastInsertId();
}else{
return false;
}
}
}
Add the LogWritter to the index
Add the LogWritter to the Slim app
$app = new \Slim\Slim(array(
'log.writer' => $logWriter,
'log.enabled' => true,
'log.level' => \Slim\Log::DEBUG,
'debug' => true
));
now you can get the log from app
$retult = $app->log->error('test error');
$result will have the inserted log id false if the log failed
Hope this will help someone in future.
