PHP Logging - logging exceptions

Re-working PHP Exceptions - getLine() vs. getTrace['line'] to use the Logger class (see PHP Logging - Zend_Log) and the Zend Framework, yields something like the following..........

<?php
 
set_include_path('../library'. PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());
require_once "Zend/Loader.php";
Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();
 
require_once "Logger.php";
 
class exceptionContents
{
    public function display()
    {
        try
        {
            $exception = new Exception('message passed to exception', 5);
            throw $exception;
        }
        catch(Exception $exception)
        {
            Logger::logMessage('message passed to log object', 1, $exception);
        }
 
    }
}
 
$exceptionContents = new ExceptionContents();
$exceptionContents->display();
 
?> 

1. <?php
2.  
3. set_include_path('../library'. PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());
4. require_once "Zend/Loader.php";
5. Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();
6.  
7. require_once "Logger.php";
8.  
9. class exceptionContents
10. {
11. public function display()
12. {
13. try
14. {
15. $exception = new Exception('message passed to exception', 5);
16. throw $exception;
17. }
18. catch(Exception $exception)
19. {
20. Logger::logMessage('message passed to log object', 1, $exception);
21. }
22.  
23. }
24. }
25.  
26. $exceptionContents = new ExceptionContents();
27. $exceptionContents->display();
28.  
29. ?>

.....which produces this sort of information in the log file........

<logEntry>
