creating log files out of a delete statement

hi... i have a section of a website that deletes records from a mysql table... right now all the query is is a delete statement but i need to make a "log file" in this format: current time::username who executed delete:: deleted(name of record)::delete completed or delete failed depending on what happened... i can do all of the log except dont exactly know how to extract the "Name" field of the deleted record before it actually gets dumped.. that way i can use it on the log... any ideas how to do it in the best way??
