Question

what can I do to make the abstract function work in the emaillogger class?

class EmailLogger extends Zend_Log_Writer_Abstract

and I want to use the function _write

 protected function _write($event)
 {
      $this->_events[] = $this->_formatter->format($event);
 }

then I got this error

Class EmailLogger contains 1 abstract method and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (Zend_Log_FactoryInterface::factory)

I am not really sure what to do here
I try’d to use implements Zend_Log_FactoryInterface, but it diddn’t work

thanks, Richard

Answer 1

Zend_Log_Writer_Abstract implements Zend_Log_FactoryInterface which has the following code:

static public function factory($config);

This forces the Zend_Log_Writer_Abstract and any child classes to also have a factory method. To satisfy this requirement, you could put in a wrapper method which calls the parent method:

class EmailLogger extends Zend_Log_Writer_Abstract
{
    // Add this method in conjunction to what you already have in your class
    public static function factory($config)
    {
        parent::factory($config);
    }
}
