Log User Names

[UrOnline]

I've search the board and haven't found a solution.

I would like to log User names every time they log in. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Yes it's possible ,
- Use  USER_NAME constant it will set after each authentication
- OR just query the xxx_users table

BTW there is some plugin for online users stat , look at the cpg1.4 plugin contributions

I'm not sure that I completely understand. This will keep a log of every time a user logs in. And if yes (and it's not too complicated to explain) can you explain it just a little more. I'm kinda new at php (even though I'm a Windows Programmer - so at least I have some coding experience).

Thanks a lot.

Let me know what do you want to do , your first post was just about possibility

I would like to have a log (text file or something similar) that has in it - Date, Time, and UserName. Basically whenever a user signs in it should log it. This should be similar to the log files that already exist (in Logging and statistics) such as eCards and Vote Statistics.

I guess it's time for me to go out and buy the PHP For Dummies book (at least to start), and start burning the midnight oil. I would love to have some kind of clue about how pHp works.

You have all this info on database (xxx_usres table)

this plugin may help you to get the idea:

just look at the codebase.php and find the online_today($html) function , there is a mysql query
