Zend_Log Dateformat

[Steve Rayner-2]

Zend_Log has this in the Log() function;

        // pack into event required by filters and writers
        $event = array_merge(array('timestamp'    => date('c'),
                                    'message'      => $message,
                                    'priority'     => $priority,
                                    'priorityName' =>
$this->_priorities[$priority]),
                              $this->_extras);

Which uses ISO format for date. However Firebird database does not
seem to accept dates in this format.
How should I go about overriding the date format in Zend_Log.

Presumably I would have to create my own Log object that extends from
Zend_Log and override the whole Log() function.
This seems a bit extreme just to reformat a date.

I would prefer to keep ISO format in Log object and reformat the date
at the database abstraction layer, but it seems
ZendX_Db_Adapter_Firebird is not responcible for reformatting dates
(which imo kinda defeats purpose of database abstraction).
Any thoughts?

If you take a look at

* https://github.com/svenax/ZendFramework/blob/release-1.11.11/library/Zend/Log.php#L141

you'll see that the format of the timestamp can actually be configured. I assume that this is the same in the latest 1.12.0 release.


Best regards,

Andreas

Swap out the formatter for the writer.

ZF1:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.12/en/zend.log.formatters.html

ZF2:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.0/en/modules/zend.log.formatters.html

Cheers,
David

Easy. I just needed to upgrade from ZF1.10 to ZF1.12.
As you say you can now specify the timestamp format.

        $logger = new Zend_Log();
        $logger->setTimestampFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Thanks
