My apologies if I missed the word "access log" or even assumed you meant "error log" when you just said "log." I shouldn't have. You're right, you can't do that, without opening up security more than you want to. *ACTUALLY*... There *probably* is an Apache function for access logs just like the error logging one that PHP is using, and you could *PROBABLY* patch PHP with some dead-easy copy&paste to use it, and you could even submit that worthy patch to the PHP Group. I suspect it's not there only because nobody really saw a need for it. It's kinda icky that you'd almost have to use 4 (the next unused number) for "Apache access log" with 0 being "Apache error log" and 1,2,3 being other stuff between... Maybe -1 for "access log"? Ewwwww. That's not 'right' either, but maybe it's 'less wrong' than 4. Damn things shouldn't have been magic numbers in the first place. Should be constants. Hey, while you're in there, make up some decent constant names and let's migrate to them and then deprecate the magic numbers and fix it right :-) Another option might involve some sort of nasty named pipe stuff and redirection and whatnot, and you *MIGHT* be able to have a "file" that you error_log into, but it really just ends up going into the Apache log... There may be some risk of corrupting your access log, however, if any incredibly *HUGE* entry over-steps the atomicity threshold for file appending in Linux... Not so sure it's a Good Idea anyway to have two programs trying to write to the same file at once if it can be avoided. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm I'm looking for a PRO QUALITY two-input sound card supported by Linux (any major distro).
