README

A library for handling the most mundane things like exception handling and logging aswell as the most often needed functions

composer require xcalegroup/baselib

Requirements

You need to define the following contants in a file named baselibconstants.php placed in the root folder of your project. The Baselib will include the file like this

require_once(__DIR__ . "/baselibconstants.php");

Baselib requirements for logging

define("__BASELIB__NAME", "Application name");
define("__BASELIB__DEBUG", true);
define("__BASELIB__LOGGING", true);
define("__BASELIB__TRACE", true);
define("__BASELIB__REMOTE__DATA", true);
define("__BASELIB__REMOTE__ENDPOINT", "Enpoint URL for your remote logging, if enabled");
define("__BASELIB__REMOTE__KEY", "Key for remote logging, if you choose to implement it");

Baselib requirements for handling database

This could be defined in another constants.php file, but is rquired to auto create tables if missing as well as adding data to the database

define("__BASELIB__DB_TYPE", "mysql");
define("__BASELIB__DB_HOST", "localhost");
define("__BASELIB__DB_USER", "USER");
define("__BASELIB__DB_PASS", "PASS");
define("__BASELIB__DB_NAME", "NAME");
define("__BASELIB__CREATE_DB", false); // if true it will create the tables needed, but only if the table does not exists.

If you allready have your database defined then use those defined constants in your baselibconstants file like this

require_once(__DIR__ . "[YOUR DEFINES FILE]");

define("__BASELIB__DB_TYPE", DB_TYPE);
define("__BASELIB__DB_HOST", DB_HOST);
define("__BASELIB__DB_USER", DB_USER);
define("__BASELIB__DB_PASS", DB_PASS);
define("__BASELIB__DB_NAME", DB_NAME);
define("__BASELIB__CREATE_DB", false);

Usage

class YouClass extends BaselibClass
{
    public function Method1()
    {
        $this->trace->add(__FUNCTION__);
        ...
    }

    public function Method2()
    {
        $this->trace->add(__FUNCTION__);
        try{
            ...
        }
        catch(Exception $e){
            $this->log(Severity::ERROR,$e);
        }
        finally{

        }
    }
}

The baselibClass provides numerous ways of logging

collections

Collections are stored upon object destruction. Either by using unset or by letting PHP handle carbage collection.

• trace
• logs

methods

Methods log instantly on each call

• log
• message

Remote Endpoint

The remote endpoint will be called using POST. Handle variables like the below, where key is used as a security measure. Use it as part of an API validation process. Using remote logging might be usefull for small projects or if you have multiple CRON jobs and wish to have logging easy at hand.

$_POST['key']!='') {
    $key=$_POST['key'];
    $app=$_POST['app'];
    $severity=$_POST['severity'];
    $errorcode=$_POST['errorcode'];
    $error=$_POST['error'];
    $stack_trace=$_POST['stack_trace'];
    $user=$_POST['user'];
}

FileReader class - For reading Huge file

This class has been tested on files containing more than 2.5 million lines and sizes above 72GB data. Its does not put pressure on your server and can run multiple instances on different files

$filereader = new FileReader('file.extension', true);
$filereader->read('handleLineContent');

function handleLineContent($content){
    //Handle the content read. This is called each time a line is read
}
