Sometimes you need to send something to symfony webdebug. there are three ways depended on where you are going to log from.
Logging in Model
sfContext::getInstance()->getLogger()->log($message, $level);
Logging in View
<?php use_helper(‘Debug’) ?>
<?php log_message($message, $level) ?>
Logging in Action
$this->logMessage($message, $level);
Have fun! 🙂
