I would say that in the most cases it won't make sense and it is more advisable to only send an email in case of some particular processes.
In this specific project I want to receive an email in case of an error (no information or debug message) on the production environment. The reason for that is that I do not want to monitor the project all the time. Thus, I adjusted the above posted code slightly:
PHP Code:
class MY_Log extends CI_Log {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function write_log($level, $msg)
{
$result = parent::write_log($level, $msg);
//SEND MAIL
if($level == 'error' && ENVIRONMENT == 'production')
{
require_once(BASE_PATH.'application/libraries/PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->CharSet = "UTF-8";
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Subject = $level;
$mail->Body = $msg;
//additional email stuff...
$mail->send();
}
//END SEND MAIL
return is_int($result);
}
}
Thank you for your input
