How can I delete old logs in Log4php?

Question

Is there any way to delete old logs in log4php? Or logs gets deleted after specific time duration?

Answer 1

If you use the plain LoggerAppenderFile, then it is up to you to rotate the logfiles, which might be a good thing because it can be done without any impact on the running PHP application.

If you want log4php to do this, use either the LoggerAppenderRollingFile (creates a new logfile after a certain size, and deletes the oldest rotated) or LoggerAppenderDailyFile (created a new file based on the time).
