title: You Log to Your DB, Where Do You Log When Your DB is Down?
body: <p>I'm working with <a href="http://pear.php.net/package/Log" rel="nofollow noreferrer">logging in PHP with Pear</a>, and I get into a standard problem: can I use file-based logging when the DB is not available? I don't mind if it's slow due to concurrency issues, but it cannot fail to work due to multiple, simultaneous hits. </p>
  
  <p>I'm asking this question in general (for other web technologies) and specifically for Pear for PHP.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
