Re: requesting comments on rajmvServiceLog (access + error logging through PHP and JS to MySQL)

Hi, Rene

I took a quick look over your code ...

I kind-of like the idea having all logging at one place, but the code is a
bit too messy if you ask me :)
If you would have put it on github and I would fork it - the first thing
I'd do is trying to get rid of the hm-lib and rewriting all in a bit more
object-oriented style, but that's just personal taste ;)
Specially the function rajmvServiceLog_graphs_raphael_calculateData() with
a code of ca. 280 lines is quite long ...
Additionally I think that setting an error-handler who's just returning
false is not a good way. Why not disable error-handling or write code that
produces no errors?

I think it would be good to mention that you're using the library adodb (
http://adodb.sourceforge.net/) and sitewide_rv (is it that?
http://mediabeez.ws/) or am I guessing wrong?

You're talking about a sql-file ... has my anti-virus-program removed
something here?

Please don't see that as destructive critic, but as hints what I would do
if I get to do with this code.

Bye
Simon
