An access log is a text file containing an extensive list of all 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 application and a visitor opens just the home page, for example, you might find plenty of files in the log. This is because there are elements on the home page which are embedded - parts of other web pages, graphics, etcetera. All of these files will be listed in the access log, so that you can get a complete picture of the way your website functions. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently referred to as "raw data" too. An access log contains the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, and also the user’s IP address, web browser and Operating System. More info, like the referrer Internet site, is sometimes included as well. A log file may be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics generated by your website hosting server.
