RE: [PHP] Use PHP to log into Apache logs?

Well for recording the username change your Apache Config LogFormat from: LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined to: LogFormat "%h %l %{Login}o %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combinedlogin Then use this new log definition in your CustomLog directive. Then BEFORE ANY OTHER OUTPUT in your PHP script put a header function like so with the comments if you like: // For the purposes of the Apache logs, send the username if it exists from the cookie. // Apache must be configured to take the Environment variable "Login" for this to work like so: // {Login}o in the Custom Log definition. This is here because we must print headers before // any other output. if ( $user_name ) { Header("Login: $user_name"); } The $user_name variable comes from a cookie I plant earlier, but could be any variable. Restart your Apache and you should not see the user name in the otherwise unused third field in the log files. Web log analyzers such as www.webalizer.com correctly interpret this user name field. A "-" will appear like usual when you do not define this environment variable. In case you are wondering, this field will get set in Apache's usual log format when you use the MOD_AUTH stuff. This works great for me with sites like www.astronomy.net.
