Team challenge : solo

Learning objectives

To be able to manage packages with composer
Understand what composer does for you
Work with monolog
Get used to work with different handlers

The Mission

We will use our first external PHP dependency today! We are going to use a popular open source tool to log messages: monolog.

To manage this external package we will use composer, be sure to first read the documentation about composer and install both composer and then Monolog.

You can find the instructions to install Monolog on it's webpage.

Must-have features

Use the buttons.html page to submit log messages and write the message in a log file.

Write each color of buttons to a different file:

info: info.log and send the messages to browser console using BrowserConsoleHandler
warning: warning.log
danger: warning.log and email these messages using NativeMailerHandler
dark: emergency.log and email these messages using NativeMailerHandler

You do not need to use an if to get the messages written in different files

Nice to have features

Try to experiment with different Monolog features like different Handlers!

Tips

Read the documentation to assign different handlers and handle priorities.
