Hi, I found some improvements to add to different Zend_Log files. First, the $event treated in Zend_Log_Writer_Abstract and all its children should be casted to Array in the function definitions ( for safety ). Second, I think that Zend_Log should be iterable to give back the Writers it has been provided, and additionaly all the writers should be "toStringable" to reflect the name of their own class Same for Zend_Log_Writer_Mock : it should be recursive Iterable so that a simple foreach loop on it would give back all the messages it's been containing. All those patches are ready in my local copy and waiting for approvement. I can as well take care of the other improvements asked for that component, such as ZF-2618 that could lead to a warning show if default timezone has not been set in PHP, ZF-2428 as well.... Let me know.
