I have a WordPress issue and want to simply write log messages to a text file. I am aware that error_log
exists, but want to have a more segregated log file for different messages.
I am using wp_filesystem->put_contents
, and it DOES write to the file and succeeds, but it ONLY outputs the last call's data.
I have the following method:
public static function log_message($msg) {
error_log($msg);
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/file.php');
global $wp_filesystem;
if ( ! is_a( $wp_filesystem, 'WP_Filesystem_Base') ){
$creds = request_filesystem_credentials( site_url() );
wp_filesystem($creds);
}
$bt = debug_backtrace();
$caller = array_shift($bt);
$logStr = date("Y-m-d hh:ii A",time())." - ".$caller['file'].":".$caller['line']." - ".$msg;
$filePathStr = SRC_DIR.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$logFileName;
$success = $wp_filesystem->put_contents(
$filePathStr,
$logStr,
FS_CHMOD_FILE // predefined mode settings for WP files
);
if(!$success) {
error_log("Writing to file \"".$filePathStr."\" failed.");
} else {
error_log("Writing to file \"".$filePathStr."\" succeeded.");
}
}
I call it using:
log_message("
Test 1");
log_message("
Test 2");
log_message("
Test 3");
The output is ALWAYS ONLY Test 3
with the other invocations being ignored yet, their output appears in the debug.log as well as all the success messages.
Why would this be?
Looking at the WPCodex for the source code of this, it uses fwrite
behind the scenes. The file is closed in this code, and I cannot use any "flush" technique.
Is there a way to figure this out?
