Question

I want to create a logfile for my system to register log every action they do inside the system  But I have no idea how to do it   For example  I have this php code that does the login function   public function hasAccess  username  password        form   array         form  username      username       form  password      password         securityDAO    this- gt getDAO  SecurityDAO         result    securityDAO- gt hasAccess  form         var dump  form         var dump  result       if  result 0   success     1             this- gt Session- gt add  user id    result 0   id                this- gt Session- gt add  username    result 0   username                this- gt Session- gt add  roleid    result 0   roleid             return  this- gt status 0 true  auth success   result        else          return  this- gt status 0 false  auth failed   result             now I want to create a logfile entitled  the date today   then when that functions is used for loging in  it will write that user has logged in  the same with other functions  But I only want a single file for every day   Could anyone be kind enough to guide and teach me how I should do my codes

To write to a log file and make a new one each day  you could use date  j n Y   as part of the filename     Something to write to txt log  log     User      SERVER  REMOTE ADDR     -   date  F j  Y  g i a   PHP EOL           Attempt      result 0   success     1   Success   Failed   PHP EOL           User     username PHP EOL           -------------------------  PHP EOL    Save string to log  use FILE APPEND to append  file put contents    log   date  j n Y     log    log  FILE APPEND     So you would place that within your hasAccess   method   public function hasAccess  username  password        form   array         form  username      username       form  password      password        securityDAO    this- gt getDAO  SecurityDAO         result    securityDAO- gt hasAccess  form          Write action to txt log      log     User      SERVER  REMOTE ADDR     -   date  F j  Y  g i a   PHP EOL               Attempt      result 0   success     1   Success   Failed   PHP EOL               User     username PHP EOL               -------------------------  PHP EOL        -     file put contents    log   date  j n Y     txt    log  FILE APPEND        if  result 0   success     1             this- gt Session- gt add  user id    result 0   id                this- gt Session- gt add  username    result 0   username                this- gt Session- gt add  roleid    result 0   roleid             return  this- gt status 0 true  auth success   result        else          return  this- gt status 0 false  auth failed   result

You could use built-in function trigger error   to trigger user errors warnings notices and set error handler   to handle them  Inside your error handler you might want to use error log   or file put contents   to store all records on files  To have a single file for every day just use something like sprintf   s log   date  Y-m-d    as filename  And now you should know where to start
