Bea Logger

Basic and simple logger for WordPress.

Usage

$logger = new Bea_Log( WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/my-logger' );
$logger->log_this( 'Log this message', Bea_Log::gravity_0 );

Produces a line like:

[d-m-Y H:i:s][Emerg] Log this message

Constructor

new Bea_Log( $file_path, $file_extension = '.log', $retention_size = '', $write_enabled = true );

• $file_path: base path without extension.
• $file_extension: file extension including the dot (default .log).
• $retention_size: max file size in bytes before rotation (default 419430400, ~400 MB).
• $write_enabled: when false, log_this() is a no-op (no disk I/O).

Rotation & compression

When the log file exceeds $retention_size, it is renamed to {file_path}-{Y-m-d-H-i-s}{ext} and, when ZipArchive is available, compressed into a sibling .zip (the plain rotated file is then removed).

Gravity levels

const gravity_0 = 'Emerg';
const gravity_1 = 'Alert';
const gravity_2 = 'Crit';
const gravity_3 = 'Err';
const gravity_4 = 'Warning';
const gravity_5 = 'Notice';
const gravity_6 = 'Info';
const gravity_7 = 'Debug';

Default level is gravity_7 (Debug).
