## LoggerAppenderFile `LoggerAppenderFile` writes logging events to a file. ### Layout This appender requires a layout. If no layout is specified in configuration, `LoggerLayoutSimple` will be used by default. ### Parameters The following parameters are available:
Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
file | string | Yes | - | Path to the target file. Relative paths are resolved based on the working directory.
append | boolean | No | true | If set to true, the appender will append to the file, otherwise the file contents will be overwritten.
### Examples This example shows how to configure `LoggerAppenderFile` to write to `file.log` and to overwrite any content present in the file. The target file will be created in the current working directory. It is also possible to specify an absolute path to the target file, such as `/var/log/file.log` or `D:/logs/file.log` XML PHP
