An access log is a text file that contains a full report on all of the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All the files that were requested in one way or another will be included, so when you have a PHP script application and a website visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you may find many files inside the log. This is because there are components on the home page that are embedded - parts of other webpages, images, etcetera. All of these files shall be listed within the access log, so that you can get a full picture of the way your site works. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally termed "raw data" as well. An access log provides the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, along with the user’s IP address, Internet browser and OS. More information, like the referrer website, is oftentimes included as well. A log file could be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats supplied by your website hosting server.
