Answer 1

php built-in server writes output to the php://stdout stream , which mean you can output anything to it, but this should only be used for debugging.

here's a quick example of how can you achieve the result of writing to the server console :

 $args
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public static function log(...$args): void {
        foreach ($args as $arg) {
            if (is_object($arg) || is_array($arg) || is_resource($arg)) {
                $output = print_r($arg, true);
            } else {
                $output = (string) $arg;
            }

            fwrite(STDOUT, $output . "\n");
         }
    }
}

// usage example : 
ServerLogger::log('Hello, world!');
// outputting an array : 
ServerLogger::log($_SERVER);
