[SOLVED] Log actions?

[Cory94bailly]

How can I log actions?

 

Like who logs in/who logs out, who added/deleted what news?

 

And then, how would I get it to (of course) same to mysql and display it in a php file?

You should learn some basic PHP & MySQL if you want to do something like this.

I know basic php and a bit of mysql..

 

I just don't know how to log the actions..!

[Spaceman-Spiff]

It all depends on how the program/script works...

 

For example, for this forum (SMF), you can record the actions by the "action" in the url (get method). Like: action=post, action=register, and so on...

 

Different program works differently, I can't tell you how to do something I don't know about...

get it so that on every page there is a

<?php
$pagename = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
$time = date();
?>

And get the script to insert that data into a mySQL database when the page loads. You can also have it log usernames, id's and other things too if you declare variables for them. Although this type of logging system will be hard on a high traffic website as there will be way too many MySQL Query's being performed per second

Theres your problem this function only started in PHP 5.1.0 or above. Just remove this function from the code, itll still og it but only using the servers time. Not a UTC Timestamp

using PHP and MySQL but only on low traffic websites. If you have a high traffic website then a larger bandwidth would have to be required

Ok I did that..

 

I contacted my host, upgraded to php5 and now I get this:

 

Warning: date() expects at least 1 parameter, 0 given in /home/content/m/a/r/markbailly/html/test69.php on line 4

$time = date("F j, Y, g:i a");
