Log visited URL to file¿

[Britomo]

I need a php script that will log a visited URL to a file.

For example, if someone visits http://www.mysite.com/user.php?UserName
Then "UserName" is logged to the text file.

I'm completly new to php so I don't even know the term to search for regarding the question mark in the URL (if that makes sense).

Any help on this would be much appreciated
Cheers

hello,

first your url would look more like this when you pass variables with the get method:

http://www.mysite.com/somepage.php?username=mmilano

then you can make a script that reads something like this:

<?
// only run this code if $username exists
if($username)
{

// define the log file
$logfile=log_file_name.txt;

// check to see if the log file exists
if (file_exists($logfile)) {

// open file for append to end and write
$fp = fopen ("$logfile", "aw");

// write the params as name value pairs
fputs ("$username\n");

// close the file
fclose($fp);

}

}
?>

make sure the directory of the log file is set to "world write" or chmod 666

let us know how it went, .. good luck

btw. here is the a good link. php.net is your friend =)
