No I do not think we have agreed on this. You reply to my mail, and 
before I reply you call it "agreed upon". That is not right :)

In your original mail you said:
"Currently we don't have proper way of logging from PHP Scripts. 
Currently We are using error_log function which write logs in apache. 
but we should write log to wsf_php_server.log and wsf_php_client.log so 
users are not confused.

Shall we  implement wrapper for axis2_log_write function for use in PHP? "

Now, there is no mention of "internal only" use as you mention in "Not 
really, Since we don't expect users to use this function in their code. 
Rather we used it in internal stuff.".

So I do not think you have explained the requirement right in the first 
place.

Here are my questions:
1. Is this an internal only function?
2. Where is this placed?
3. How can we "hide" it form users so that they do not use it if it is 
internal only?

Thanks,
Samisa...
