Troubleshooting, no output

[travis99872]

Hello,

I'm trying to see what the output is on some backend server files in magento. Trying to learn magento by breaking it and fixing it.

echo "this is a test" doen't throw error but i dont see where it goes either. 

Mage::log("My test log", null, "test.log") throws errors because Mage isn't found. How do you write output from file to any of the magento logs on the server?
