New on the ZendCasts.com site, there's a screencast about using Zend_Log to create a full logging framework for your Zend Framework-based application.
I was working on a project for a client the other day and noticed a couple of lines in the ErrorController for automatically logging errors with Zend_Log. In 10 minutes, you can have a fully integrated logging framework. I also implement a singleton pattern for reusing your Zend_Log configuration (defined in the application.ini) anywhere else in your application.
You can watch the screencast via the in-page player and follow along with the code if you'd like to download it from here.
