little helper - Log file viewer

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Yaw folks!

not sure if anyone else ever got annoyed with viewing the logs on the file system - so for development I've helped myself to a little tool that helps me view the debug/log files produced by CodeIgniter's "log_message()" function.

in the attached/linked zip archive is a php file called log.php - place that into CIs /system/logs/ directory and access it directly by a browser.

eventually you might have to edit your .htaccess file to allow access to it.

The script is a stand-alone script and will only allow you access to "log-YYYY-MM-DD.php" files and allows you to filter by keyword, truncate or delete the file.

its surely far from perfect but for what its made it works

Enjoy.

Thank you! It is very helpful.

I was trying to do it on command line.

When developing I have my logfile set so:

1. it only displays errors
2. the logfile is open in my editor
3. when an error occurs the editor says the file has changed and do I want to upload the changed file.
3. after I have cleared the error I delete and save the cleared log file.
 
./config/config.php

Code:

...
   ...
   ...
   define('LOCALHOST', 'localhost' === $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);

   error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);

   ini_set('display_errors',  LOCALHOST ? 'On', 'Off')

   $config['log_threshold'] = LOCALHOST ? 1 : 0;
