Log visited URL to file¿

[Anon]

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

Directories and filename of script : $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"]

Server addresse (without "http://") : $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]

Everything after the "?" : $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]

To add a line at the end of a line, use "a+" mode in fopen.

Example with this URL : http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum/read.php3?num=1&id=142989&thread=142989

$SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] = /forum/read.php3
$SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] = www.phpbuilder.com
$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] = num=1&id=142989&thread=142989

$new_log_line = " User « " . $SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] . " » requested : http://" . $SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] . "\n";
$fp = fopen("/path_to_log_file/log_file.log", "a+");
fputs($fp, $new_log_line);
fclose($fp);

This would produce :
User « num=1&id=142989&thread=142989 » requested http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum/read.php3

Hope it helped.

Just a note :

$SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] = /forum/read.php3
$SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] = www.phpbuilder.com
$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] = num=1&id=142989&thread=142989

ARE NOT PART OF THE SCRIPT, I just wanted to show you what the variables would contain.
