Hi all,
I wanna ask something about codeigniter.
How do I create log files using CodeIgniter? And what is the difference between the log file with an existing session in the config file? I want to create a log file from web site visitors such as IP addresses, time and whatever page is clicked. I have been searching in google but did not get a clue. Please someone who can help me?

These logs are kept by your webserver. For detailed analytics you can use a hosted solution like google analytics, or a log analyzer like awstats or webalizer

Then how to create log files that can be directly inserted into the database? I mean the code making with codeigniter?.. There is any code that i can use from codeigniter to make log file?

just do an database insert with the timestamp, ip address, and current uri. put it in a model’s constructor and autoload that model on every page

@Tom : I’m newbie with codeigniter tom and i don’t know what the code i must write. Can you give me the link where i can get and read the code about created the log files and inserted into the database?
Thanks before tom..

@senz, here’s an article describing sth very similar:

a word of caution though, logging every hit will eventually make for a very large database.

@eoinmcg : Wow..i just visited that link and that what i want!! Thanks 😊
