I was wondering if anyone knew of a way or an extension that would allow some sort of debugging to the OSX console app.

like

<?php

echoMyConsole("this is text");

?>

But instead of echoing to the page the "this is text" code would go to OSX's console ouput?


thanks

this will divert errors that normally go into httpd.log and puts them into a csv file.

Code:
<?php
// Write php errors to log file instead of apache log
error_reporting(0);
$old_error_handler = set_error_handler("userErrorHandler");

function userErrorHandler ($errno, $errmsg, $filename, $linenum,  $vars){
    $time=date("d M Y H:i:s");
    // Get the error type from the error number
    $errortype = array (1    => "Error",
                        2    => "Warning",
                        4    => "Parsing Error",
                        8    => "Notice",
                        16   => "Core Error",
                        32   => "Core Warning",
                        64   => "Compile Error",
                        128  => "Compile Warning",
                        256  => "User Error",
                        512  => "User Warning",
                        1024 => "User Notice");
    $errlevel=$errortype[$errno];

    //Write error to log file (CSV format)
    $errfile=fopen("php_errors.csv","a");
    fputs($errfile,"\"$time\",\"$filename:
    line:$linenum\",\"($errlevel) $errmsg\"\n\n");
    fclose($errfile);

    if($errno!=2 && $errno!=8) {
       //Terminate script if fatal errror
       die("A fatal error has occured. Script execution has been aborted");
    }
}
?>

thank you!.

so this will output the error to a text file? (little confused by the CVS label.)

awesome. i can then leave this file open in my text editor and it will auto update its contents.

Not CVS, CSV.

you can set the console to view other log files besides the main system log.

Go to:

Code:
File > Open Quickly > /var/log > httpd > ...
