<p>The main purpose of the objectStatus class is to give you a means to observe and log what the objects you're working with are doing. It can collect messages from various objects and either print them on the screen, write them into a log file or send them via email to one or several recipients.<br />
You can use this class for developing purposes only or for monitoring running applications as well.</p>

<h2><a name="ex"></a>Example</h2>
<br />
<p>Since the main purpose of the <i>objectStatus</i> class is to give you a means to observe what your objects "are doing", the first step to using it is to include it to your classes.<br />
This can be done by adding a parameter to the constructor of your class, let's call it <i>$os</i>.</p>
<p class="markupNoBorder">function someConstructor ( $someParameter, <b>$os=""</b> )</p>
<p>Make sure it's an optional parameter. After you did that, check if the passed value is an object and, if so, store it in an object variable (to keep it simple, we call it <i>$os</i> as well. Don't forget to initialize this variable using <i>var</i>).<br />
You may add the first status message as well...</p>
<p class="markupNoBorder">function someConstructor ( $someParameter, $os="" )<br />
{<br />
$this->os = "";<br />
...<br />
if ( is_object ( $os ) )<br />
{<br />
$this->os = $os;<br />
$this->os->statusMessage (<br />
"someClass",<br />
"someMethod",<br />
"some message",<br />
1<br />
);<br />
}<br />
...<br />
}</p>
<p>After that you only have to check if <span class="markupNoBorder">$this->os</span> is set/has a value and, if so, add your messages...</p>
<p class="markupNoBorder">( $this->os ) ? $this->os->statusMessage ( "someClass", "someMethod", "someMessage", 1 ) : 0;</p>
<p>That's it...<br />
<b>Note:</b> I tried to make this example as easy and comprehensible as possible. But since I have developed this thing, some aspects in this example may seem completely clear to me... but not to you. If you encounter any problems with this class, please don't hesitate <a href="mailto:info@serbe.de?subject=objectStatus">asking me</a>.</p>
