AppFog: PHP debugging

Question

I have a PHP application running on AppFog. I'm having trouble debugging some issues I am having with my server-side code. I've been attempting to use print statements and then run af logs <myAppName> but the logs do not contain the print statements.

When I do run af logs, I do see 3 separate log files:

1. logs/access.log
2. logs/error.log
3. logs/stderr.log

I've tried debugging using print, printf, and error_log but to no avail. Is there something specific I need to do for my logs to appear in af logs?

You may need to change your error reporting level. By default, php's errors will go to the err.log logs when using error_log();, but many applications disable error_reporting() to hide unruly code, so before your breakpoint, set error_reporting(E_ALL);
