Add log files to slim framework - php

Question

I am completelly new to Slim. I have used php for the last 3-4 years but I have always done everything from scratch. I want to learn this frameworks for some rest services I have to do.
I have followed a tutorial on the slim webpage to get a simple rest service working but I want to add a log system to see what is happening when something goes wrong or wathever.
This is what I have right know:
<?php
use \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;
require '../Slim/Slim.php';
\Slim\Slim::requisterAutoloader();
$application = new \Slim\App();
$logger = $application->log;
$logger->setEnabled(true);
$logger->setLevel(\Slim\Log::DEBUG);
$application->get(
'/hello/user',
function ()
{
GLOBAL $logger;
$logger->info("starting the handling function");
echo "<data>response</data>";
$logger->info("ending handling function");
});
$application->run();
?>
I also tried with monolog but I didn't get it working.
<?php
use \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;
use Monolog\Logger;
use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;
require '../vendor/autoload.php';
$logger = new \Flynsarmy\SlimMonolog\Log\MonologWriter(array(
'handlers' => array(
new \Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler('./logs/'.date('Y-m-d').'.log'),
),
));
$app = new Slim\App(array(
'log.writer' => $logger,
));
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function (Request $request, Response $response){
$name = $request->getAttribute('name');
$response->getBody()->write("Hello, $name");
//$app->log->writer("hola");
$this->logger->info("Slim-Skeleton '/' route");
return $response;
});
$app->run();
What I would really want is to have a daily log with warnings, debug, info... in the same file. Changing the file every day.

The slim-skeleton application shows how to integrate monolog.
Register the logger with the DI container:
$container['logger'] = function ($c) {
$settings = $c->get('settings')['logger'];
$logger = new \Monolog\Logger('test-app');
$logger->pushHandler(new Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler('php://stdout', \Monolog\Logger::DEBUG));
return $logger;
};
Use it in your closure:
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function (Request $request, Response $response){
$name = $request->getAttribute('name');
$response->getBody()->write("Hello, $name");
$this->get('logger')->info("Slim-Skeleton '/' route");
return $response;
});
The logs will out output to stdout, so you'll see the in your apache error log or if you're using the built-in PHP server, in the terminal.
