Talk:MediaWiki code snippets

This function failed for me when put at the beginning of an extension;

<php> logFile("FOO","FODDA");

1. Logging to a file

function logFile($file, $msg) { $fh = fopen($file,'a'); $ts = $GLOBALS['wgLang']->timeanddate(wfTimestampNow(),true); if(is_array($msg)) $msg = print_r($msg, true); fwrite($fh, "\n$ts: $msg"); } </php>

It is failing on this line $ts = $GLOBALS['wgLang']->timeanddate(wfTimestampNow(),true);. Where is the timeanddate set within the MediaWiki classes? --Sven 13:33, 10 December 2007 (NZDT)

Looks like $GLOBALS['wgLang'] doesn't exist anymore in print_r($GLOBALS); either --Sven 13:36, 10 December 2007 (NZDT)
