What are the potential issues with viewing the log file in different text editors?

Potential issues with viewing log files in different text editors include formatting discrepancies, encoding errors, and compatibility issues. To ensure the log file is viewed consistently across different text editors, it is recommended to use a standardized format such as plain text and UTF-8 encoding. 

// Ensure log file is written in plain text format with UTF-8 encoding
$logFile = 'path/to/logfile.txt';
$logMessage = "Log message to be written";

// Open log file in append mode with UTF-8 encoding
$fileHandle = fopen($logFile, 'a');
fwrite($fileHandle, $logMessage . PHP_EOL);
fclose($fileHandle);
