# openlog

(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

openlog -- Open connection to system logger

## Description

int openlog ( string ident, int option, int facility)

openlog() opens a connection to the system logger for a program. The string `ident` is added to each message. Values for `option` and `facility` are given below. The `option` argument is used to indicate what logging options will be used when generating a log message. The `facility` argument is used to specify what type of program is logging the message. This allows you to specify (in your machine's syslog configuration) how messages coming from different facilities will be handled. The use of openlog() is optional. It will automatically be called by syslog() if necessary, in which case `ident` will default to `FALSE`.

Tabela 1. openlog() Options

Constant | Description
--- | ---
LOG_CONS | if there is an error while sending data to the system logger, write directly to the system console
LOG_NDELAY | open the connection to the logger immediately
LOG_ODELAY | (default) delay opening the connection until the first message is logged
LOG_PERROR | print log message also to standard error
LOG_PID | include PID with each message

You can use one or more of this options. When using multiple options you need to `OR` them, i.e. to open the connection immediately, write to the console and include the PID in each message, you will use: `LOG_CONS | LOG_NDELAY | LOG_PID`

Tabela 2. openlog() Facilities

Constant | Description
--- | ---
LOG_AUTH | security/authorization messages (use LOG_AUTHPRIV instead in systems where that constant is defined)
LOG_AUTHPRIV | security/authorization messages (private)
LOG_CRON | clock daemon (cron and at)
LOG_DAEMON | other system daemons
LOG_KERN | kernel messages
LOG_LOCAL0 ... LOG_LOCAL7 | reserved for local use, these are not available in Windows
