Description

The following code and configuration logs everything twice, but is not expected to. This was attempted with both LoggerAppenderConsole and LoggerAppenderFile, maybe reproducible with other appenders as well. If I remove the <appender_ref> tag from the <logger name="MyClass"> element below, the issue no longer occurs, but AFAIU, this kind of workaround should not be required.

log4php.xml:

<configuration xmlns="http://logging.apache.org/log4php/">
<appender name="myAppender" class="LoggerAppenderConsole">
</appender>
<root>
<level value="WARN" />
<appender_ref ref="myAppender" />
</root>

<logger name="MyClass">
<level value="WARN" />
<appender_ref ref="myAppender" />
</logger>
</configuration>

index.php:

Logger::configure('log4php.xml');

class MyClass {
protected $logger = null;
public function __construct()

{ $this->logger = Logger::getLogger(get_class($this)); }

public function f()

{ $this->logger->warn("f"); }

}

$cls = new MyClass();
$cls->f();

output:
WARN - f
WARN - f
