Recommended usage for OO

Hi,

I am using Log4PHP for a project in PHP 5. I initialise it
in every class:

class B extends A{
  public $_logger;

  function __construct(...) {
    if (!$this->_logger) {
      $this->_logger =&
LoggerManager::getLogger(__CLASS__ . '.' .
get_class($this));
    }
    parent::__construct(...);
  }

This is fine, when I use virtual methods, but I cannot use
it in the
static methods. How do you use Log4PHP in your projects?

BTW. You have also some broken links at your page
htt

Get the logger within the static method.

class B extends A {
  public static function someStaticFunction() {
    $debug = LoggerManager::getLogger('example');
  }
}

Thanks!

yes, thanks, so is it better to do
LoggerManager::getLogger(...) in
each method (both, virtual and static), or may it be a
significant
performance decrease?

As far as I remember in Java, most of the people initialize
Log4J like:
public class MyClass {
   static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class);
}
but it is not possible in PHP.

Yes, You can.

<?php
class A {

    public static $logger;

}

A::$logger = LoggerManager::getLogger('A');
?>
