Logging to one file per user

[fabien JOBIN <fa...@altair-multimedia.com>]

Hi,

For a website I need to have a log file per user.

I first looking into NDC by this make only one file with some informations (I test with session id).

After I've try to create a file logger and change the name but that doesn't work. here's the code :
----------8<-----------
$oUserLogger 	= LoggerManager::getLogger('userLog');
$oAppender 	= $oUserLogger->getAppender( 'userFile' );
$sLogFile  	= sprintf('system/logs/users/%s.log',session_id() );
$oAppender->setFile($sLogFile);

----------8<-----------

So anybody has an idea to make a log file per user ?

Example :
The user bob login and I want him to have the log file logs/users/bob.log
The user dave login and I want him to have the log file logs/users/dave.log

Of course I don't want to create in the config files each log entry but I want to create them 
dynamiquely (I have hundreds of users).


Hope you can help me.

Best regards,
Fabien

Try to change your code like this (use & to reference objects in PHP4; with php5 you can omit them):

$oUserLogger =& LoggerManager::getLogger('userLog');
$oAppender =& $oUserLogger->getAppender( 'userFile' );
$oAppender->close();
$sLogFile  = sprintf('system/logs/users/%s.log',session_id() );
$oAppender->setFile($sLogFile);
$oAppender->activateOptions();

the close() method closes the file opened by logger configurator; then activateOptions() open the file $sLogFile.
