I’ve tried various ways of getting “Runtime Logs” to output anything app-related from my PHP project, for example:
error_log("This is a runtime error log message");
fwrite(STDOUT, "This is a runtime log message\n");
But I’m not getting this anywhere in Runtime Logs whenever I invoke my function. I also set up Log Forward with Logtail but nothing appears there.
I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong?
Basically want I want, is to log certain events as my function runs, to help in debugging etc.
Thanks.

Hey!
I’ve just tested this with this simple PHP app here:
I’ve forked that project and added a error_log line here:

And the error_log("This is a runtime error log message"); worked for me:
Is your project open-source by any chance? If so can you share a link here so I can take a quick look?
If the project is not open-source, feel free to share more details on your exact setup or framework that you are using.
