What is the difference between .log and .txt?

Is there any functional difference between 

file_put_contents( '/Users/jake/Development/testing.log', ob_get_clean(), FILE_APPEND );

and 

file_put_contents( '/Users/jake/Development/testing.txt', ob_get_clean(), FILE_APPEND );

?

I can open both files in sublime text 2, and I'm not sure what the difference between the extensions is.

No there is no difference. You can use either. For convention and to show the purpose log files use .log extension.

and yes you can usually open them with any text editor.
