Logging

This package can use any PSR-3 compliant logger. The logger is initialized with a NullLogger-object by default. The logger of your choice have to be passed to the constructor of the GCalAddEventLink class.

If you are not working with a PSR-3 compatible logger so far, this is a good opportunity to deal with this recommendation and may work with it in the future.

There are several more or less extensive PSR-3 packages available on the Internet.

You can also take a look at the 'XLogger' package and the associated blog 'PSR-3 logging in a PHP application' as an introduction to this topic.
