An access log is a text file containing a thorough list of all the files accessed by your site visitors. All the files that were requested in one way or another shall be included, so when you have a PHP script program and a site visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you might find many files inside the log. It is because there are things on the home page which are embedded - parts of other webpages, images, etc. All of these files shall be listed in the access log, so you can get a full picture of the way your Internet site works. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are sometimes called "raw data" as well. An access log shows the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, and also the user’s IP address, browser and OS. Additional information, including the referrer Internet site, is usually included as well. A log file may be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats supplied by your hosting server.
