Redirect output of echo to a file

Hi ,
I am trying to redirect output of echo to a file.So i wrote a function named printline.Here is my sample script
Code:
myscript.sh

function printline()
{
   echo "$1" >> myfile.log

}

usage()
{
printLine "********************USAGE*************************"
printLine "Script takes following  argument "
printLine "	Argument 1 : fully qualified path of the environment specific file"
printLine "Syntax :./complete_db_install.sh <argument1>"
printLine "*************************************************"
}

## 2. Read command line parameters/arguments of the script ##
if [ $# -le 0 ] || [ $# -gt 1 ]
then
    usage
    exit 1
fi

when i invoke this script without any parameters it redirects output to myfile.log but the problem i see is that all lines of usage except last line i.e "*****" does not get printed in log file instead a list of all files in the current directory gets printed in the log file.

Pls help
