Answer 1

You can use output buffers to write browser output to a log file,

Example:

<?php
ob_start();

echo 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit';
echo 'Cras in dolor fringilla est fermentum porttito';
echo 'bla bla bla...';
echo 'bla bla bla...';

file_put_contents('/path/to/log.txt',ob_get_contents());
ob_end_flush();
?>
