PHPMailer logger for Apix Log
An extension for the Apix/Log PSR-3 logger that sends log messages via email using PHPMailer., (*1)
The home repo is on github, and the composer package is on packagist., (*2)
Apix Log was written by Franck Cassedanne (@frqnck). This extension is by Marcus Bointon (@Synchro) and is published via the PHPmailer organisation under the BSD license (though note that PHPMailer itself uses the LGPL)., (*3)
Installation
Install the logger via composer:, (*4)
composer require phpmailer/apix-log-phpmailer
You require at least PHP 5.5., (*5)
Usage
Create an Apix PhpMailer Log instance, providing a pre-configured PHPMailer instance to the constructor.
This instance will be used for all subsequent messages., (*6)
By default the logger sends an email for each individual log message received, which can be quite inefficient, so call $logger->setDeferred(true) to save up the log messages and send them all in one message on __destruct., (*7)
We suggest you enable exceptions in your PHPMailer instance (by passing true to the constructor) otherwise you may not be told about problems sending your log messages., (*8)
Example
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
// Create a PHPMailer instance with exceptions enabled
$mailer = new PHPMailer(true);
$mailer->addAddress('logs@example.com', 'Log Mailbox');
$mailer->setFrom('myapp@example.com', 'My App');
$mailer->isSMTP();
$mailer->SMTPAuth = true;
$mailer->Host = 'tls://mail.example.com:587';
$mailer->Username = 'user';
$mailer->Password = 'pass';
$mailer->isHTML(false);
$mailer->Subject = 'Error log';
$logger = new Apix\Logger\PhpMailer($mailer);
$logger->setDeferred(true);
$logger->info('Log me!');
$logger->error('Log me too!');
