How to log users connections into a text file (Newbie)

I couldn't find a hack to log into a file the users connections/browsing. So I put the following in a file named logusernav.php :
<?php

print "<!-- Beginning user log  -->";


if ( !$xoopsuser ) {
        $user_to_log = "Anonymous usern";
}
else {
        $user_to_log = "User ID: ".$xoopsUser->getVar('uid')."n";
}

$content_to_log = $date('Ymd-H:i:s')." ".$user_to_log." n";


$log_file_name = XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'logusernav.txt';

if (!$log_file_handle = fopen($log_file_name, 'a')) {
    echo "<!-- Cannot open file ($log_file_name) -->";
}
else {

    if (fwrite($log_file_handle, $content_to_log) === FALSE) {
        echo "<!-- Cannot write to file ($log_file_name) -->";
    }
    @fclose($log_file_handle);
}



?>


But if I include it in the main index.php or footer.php it does nothing. It doesn't even print "Beginning user log".

I added :
echo "<!-- nnn ----------------------include loguservnav ----------------nn -->";
include "logusernav.php";
echo "<!-- nnn ----------------------fin include loguservnav ----------------nn -->";

in footer.php just one line before the final "?>". It does add the comments, "include loguservnav" and the rest, but nothing from logusernav.php .

Can anyone give me a hint ? I'm curently connected to #xoopssupport and would really appreciate any help.

The logs I'm looking to obtain is :
[timestamp] userIP userid username url

I Hope I posted in the right place.

I made some mistakes, it works now.
It's pretty simple, I'm ashamed to bother the XOOPS community with my questions

Here is the thing, hopefully it will be usefull to someone :

File /xoops/html/logusernav.php :
<?php
$ip_to_log = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$url_to_log = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if ( !$xoopsUser ) {
    $uid_to_log = "0";
    $uname_to_log = "ANONYMOUS_NONAME";
}
else {
    $uid_to_log = $xoopsUser->getVar('uid');
    $uname_to_log = $xoopsUser->getVar('uname');
}

$content_to_log = date('Ymd-H:i:s')." ".$ip_to_log." ".$uid_to_log." ".$uname_to_log." ".$url_to_log."n";

$log_file_name = XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/logusernav.log';

if (!$log_file_handle = fopen($log_file_name, 'a')) {
    echo "<!-- Cannot open file ($log_file_name) -->";
}
else {
    if (fwrite($log_file_handle, $content_to_log) === FALSE) {
        echo "<!-- Cannot write to file ($log_file_name) -->";
    }
    @fclose($log_file_handle);
}
?>

Code to add at the end of /xoops/html/footer.php :
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/logusernav.php");

It gives you the following logs :
20070110-16:27:46 192.168.1.124 0 ANONYMOUS_NONAME /xoops/html/index.php
20070110-16:28:27 192.168.1.124 5 jcoiron /xoops/html/index.php
20070110-16:29:16 192.168.1.124 5 jcoiron /xoops/html/
20070110-16:29:18 192.168.1.124 5 jcoiron /xoops/html/modules/istats/
20070110-16:36:45 192.168.1.124 5 jcoiron /xoops/html/
20070110-17:42:02 192.168.1.124 5 jcoiron /xoops/html/modules/news/
20070110-17:42:05 192.168.1.124 5 jcoiron /xoops/html/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1279
20070110-17:45:38 192.168.1.124 5 jcoiron /xoops/html/modules/xoopsmembers/

Warning ! This produce a lot of logs.

If you don't need to keep a record of everything your users do, the module UserVisit is probably what you're looking for :

Now it is the fifth year that i used this log in my website for log about 5 webmasters accounts activities.
make a new file named it logusernav.php and copy and paste below code:
<?php
if ( $xoopsUserIsAdmin ) {
    $ip_to_log = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    $url_to_log = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    $uid_to_log = $xoopsUser->getVar('uid');
    $uname_to_log = $xoopsUser->getVar('uname');
$content_to_log = date('Ymd-H:i:s')." ".$ip_to_log." ".$uid_to_log." ".$uname_to_log." ".$url_to_log."n";

$log_file_name = XOOPS_TRUST_PATH.'/logusernav.log';

if (!$log_file_handle = fopen($log_file_name, 'a')) {
    echo "<!-- Cannot open file ($log_file_name) -->";
}
else {
    if (fwrite($log_file_handle, $content_to_log) === FALSE) {
        echo "<!-- Cannot write to file ($log_file_name) -->";
    }
    @fclose($log_file_handle);
}
}
?>

then you can add this line at the end of your mainfile.php:

include XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/logusernav.php";

and make a new file named it logusernav.log and locate it at xoops_lib directory.

I sent a feature request for a xoops history/log plugin here:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3538328&group_id=41586&atid=430843

Please write your comments here or in the sf.net if you are interested.

urgently i want to find a way to eliminate the old logs automatically because the log file will be huge after some days. for example 5 days old logs deleted.
