Integrating logging about whoops

[filp]

Whoops can easily be integrated with a logger, using a custom handler. Here's a pretty simple example:

$whoops = new Whoops\Run;

// Add some handlers
$whoops->pushHandler(new Whoops\Handler\PrettyPageHandler);
$whoops->pushHandler(new Whoops\Handler\JsonResponseHandler);

// Setup Monolog, for example:
$logger = new Monolog\Logger;
$logger->pushHandler(new Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler("/my/exception.log"));

// Place our custom handler in front of the others, capturing exceptions
// and logging them, then passing the exception on to the other handlers:
$whoops->pushHandler(function ($exception, $inspector, $run) use($logger) {
    $logger->addError($exception->getMessage());
});

@filp the handlers are called in reverse of the order they are added?

[filp]

@unstoppablecarl That's correct! The idea is to follow the natural structure of an application, where the base/framework has a chance to add the base handlers, and the user/module/component code is able to add more granular behaviors.

@filp your code (#62 (comment)) doesn't work anymore with Monolog 2. Could you update that?

@maicol07, that’s a comment that’s over 6 years old. :-)

Try pushing the logger handler above the other handlers.
