3.9. Logging user actions

You can log user actions into a special "changelog" table. You must have table created and specified for phpMyEdit using the $opts['logtable'] option.

Example 3-26. Logging

$opts['logtable'] = 'changelog';

Example 3-27. Log table schema

CREATE TABLE changelog (
	updated    timestamp(14)  default NULL,
	user       varchar(255)   default NULL,
	host       varchar(255)   default NULL,
	operation  varchar(255)   default NULL,
	tab        varchar(255)   default NULL,
	rowkey     varchar(255)   default NULL,
	col        varchar(255)   default NULL,
	oldval     blob           default NULL,
	newval     blob           default NULL
);

phpMyEdit provides also the possibility of notifying about performed user actions by sending informational e-mail. This feature configuration is done via $opts['notify'] array with following variables notation. Note that on every place where one e-mail address should be written, it is possible to have array of multiple e-mail addresses there. This feature is provided for informing more than one user about particular performed action.

$opts['notify']['from']   sender envelope e-mail address (webmaster@SERVER_NAME by default)
$opts['notify']['prefix']   prefix of e-mail messages subject (no prefix by default)
$opts['notify']['wrap']   maximum width of e-mail message body (by default 72 will be used)
$opts['notify']['insert']   e-mail address for insert action notification
$opts['notify']['update']   e-mail address for update action notification
$opts['notify']['delete']   e-mail address for delete action notification
$opts['notify']['all']   e-mail address for all actions notification

In both cases, changelog table and e-mail notyfing are values of "user" extracted from the variables in following order: $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'], $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] and global variable $REMOTE_USER. Similary "host" variable is checked in $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], than in $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] and at the end in global variable $REMOTE_ADDR.
