An access log is a text file which contains an extensive list of all the files accessed by your 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 visitor opens just the home page, for example, you might find a lot of files inside the log. It is because there are elements on the home page which are embedded - parts of other web pages, images, and so forth. All of these files shall be listed within the access log, allowing you to get a complete picture of the way your site functions. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are often described as "raw data" too. An access log contains the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and OS. More information, such as the referrer site, is usually provided as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics generated by your website hosting server.
