wp needs logging of all key actions to a text file

[2stepsback]

so that whenever something does not work properly, the text log can be referred to and the error either becomes obvious or at least is located as being around a certain part of code.
Who can do this:
+ someone who knows every function in WP
+ someone who's done coding with Exceptions, Stack traces and call stack handling in any other language

2stepsback is this something that you are working on? Otherwise, I don't think the existence of this bug will help get it done, so I will close it for now.

I don't think this is feasible, without adding a *lot* of cruft/crap to the code... Do you have some examples of what you want accomplished?

I wrote a plugin that can log php errors to the database. It may not do everything you want.

​BTEV Plugin

You need to (in the plugin):
Enable PHP error reporting
Enable Logging of all errors to the database.

I'm going to close the ticket as it seems BTEV has filled part of the gap, and it wouldnt be possible without adding a lot of extra debugging functions.

PHP extension Debuggers/tracers can be used by more experienced users if a full backtrace is ever needed.
