Minor Description
Some identical methods are repeated in many appender classes. These should be moved to the parent LoggerAppender abstract class.
The default constructor and destructor are often repeated in each appender class, or they only call the parent contructor/destructor explicitely which is not required. The default implemetnations of these are:
public function __construct($name = '') {
$this->name = $name;
}
public function __destruct() {
$this->close();
}
Also, many of the appenders have the following implementation of activateOptions() and close():
public function activateOptions() {
$this->closed = false;
}
public function __destruct() {
$this->close();
}
These 4 functions can be moved to the parent class LoggerAppender, and removed from the subclasses which use the default implementation.
