Chapter 24: Creating Custom Logs and Reports

Overview

If you're building a website for public use, chances are good that you'll want to know which part of your site is most popular, least popular, what types of web browsers are used, and so on. Although Apache keeps a generic log file of accesses and errors, you can create a few code snippets to store specific information in your MySQL database. In this chapter, you learn how to:

  • Create a simple access-counting mechanism with MySQL

  • Display the access counts on a page and in a report

  • Track form submissions

  • Create a synopsis report of the form submissions
