An access log is a text file that contains a thorough list of all of the files accessed by your site visitors. All of the files that 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 instance, you might find a lot of files inside the log. This is because there are components on the home page which are embedded - parts of other webpages, pics, and so forth. All of these files will be listed inside the access log, so you can get a complete picture of the way your website performs. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are often referred to as "raw data" too. An access log provides the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, web browser and OS. More information, including the referrer site, is usually provided as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats generated by your hosting server.
