debugging ./ logging

Hi,

 

are there any functions for writing to log files. i am in the process of writing a gateway module, and without being able to write anything to a file i have no idea where or why its not working.

 

i tried using standard php fopen / fwrite, but that does nothing ... any ideas?

so i have made some progress.

 

i have confirmed that my fopen / fwrite code works on this server .. i am now almost 100% of the conclusion that the function to capture the payment is not being called ... how can i tell this?

manged to solve the problem ... due to the function being called from a file in another folder the output.txt was not showing up where i expected it to

Why not log your message to the Admin Log in WHMCS?

 

This is a WHMCS function that will do just that.

logactivity('This will go in the Admin Log!');

Interesting so if I want to output errors from my script to this?

 

echo 'Error message to show here';
logactivity('error message for admin log');

Yes, it is what shows up on the main page of your admin area. I wouldn't log everything, but for modules and stuff like that it is perfect. I've used it for my Testimonials addon and WHMCSPM2. When a user submits a testimonial or uploads a file to WHMCSPM2, it is logged in the admin log. I also log license checking errors for licensed modules and addons.
