For example: [php ini] max_error_log_size = 512k When the log file is larger than 512k rename the file by adding the current date or timestamp: php_error_as_at_2012_10_10.log __ Raymond --- ## #63637 — Antony Dovgal — 2012-10-25T19:59:41+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/63636#63637 · In reply to: #63636 Just use logrotate for that. > Hello, > > How about adding an option to recycle the PHP log when it gets too big? > > For example: > > [php ini] > max_error_log_size = 512k > > When the log file is larger than 512k rename the file by adding the current > date or timestamp: > > php_error_as_at_2012_10_10.log > > __ > Raymond > -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal --- http://pinba.org - realtime profiling for PHP --- ## #63662 — Mario Brandt — 2012-10-27T09:17:41+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/63636#63662 · In reply to: #63637 Hi, > Just use logrotate for that.

There are a number of solutions for that: https://www.google.com/search?q=logrotate+windows PHP doesn't have to include the whole world so that nobody has to install any utilities besides it. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 --- ## #63701 — Pierre Joye — 2012-10-29T09:10:37+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/63636#63701 · In reply to: #63663 hi, No, we won't implement that as it is already available by default on windows. check the AutoBackupLogFiles option. For people not using windows log system but classic files, there are plenty of tools to do it as well. Cheers, > > > > […] > I agree.

For example, Logrotate is normally run as a daily cron job There are a lot of shared services that will not allow users to install or run certain jobs. How difficult will if be to add this feature to PHP? Will it require major change to the program? __ Raymond > hi, > > No, we won't implement that as it is already available by default on > windows. check the AutoBackupLogFiles option. > > For people not using windows log system but classic files, there are > plenty of tools to do it as well. > > Cheers, > > > > […] > the > > […] > > > > -- > Pierre > > @pierrejoye | http://blog.thepimp.net | http://www.libgd.org --- ## #63721 — Tom Boutell — 2012-10-30T17:47:23+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/63636#63721 · In reply to: #63720 So? Non-administrative users should not be worrying about rotating log files. "Shared services" have administrators who are keenly interested in not running out of disk space due to silly things like log files and provide rotation of them (or if not, you have a choice of better providers who do). > Most of these utilities require admin user access to the server.
