An access log is a text file containing a full list of all of the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All of the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so when you have a PHP script program and a website visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you might find plenty of files in the log. The reason is that there are things on the home page which are embedded - parts of other web pages, pictures, and so forth. These files will be listed in the access log, allowing you to get a detailed picture of the way your website functions. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are often termed "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, along with the user’s IP address, Internet browser and Operating System. Additional information, such as the referrer site, is typically included as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats supplied by your hosting server.
