Logs question... - Face9000 - 08.01.2014
A simple question about logs (joins, parts, deaths and so on).
Is better to log them on MySQL or in a file?
Because i log everything in a file so im considering it to move in MySQL. How i can read a single log then?
Example: I have a join log, which logs PlayerName, IP and Date/time when joined, how i can read from a command ingame this log for the chosen player? Like /joinlog Face900, which will show all logs related to my name.

Alright, I will reply your question before I sleep, to load files like .txt, etc... you need to use fopen - to open the file, fwrite - to something write in a file, fclose - to close a file,fread - to read a file,fexist - to check if the file exist or not and fremove - to delete a file.

Emh, i already open the files with fopen and so on. I just need to know how to read a specific log if i store it in a mysql table.

Storing logs in MySQL is not very useful. Just store it in a file.

i do it. It just depends what you need the "logs" for. Its useful if you want to display the logs in game, as well as on your website. If its in game, a simple file system will do.

Who says you can't upload info from files into a database? :P I don't know how but I will find out how! :P

(Note: Can still be done with regular text files, but in my opinion it is easier to use a combination of PHP and MySQL)

You should store it in a file only if you don't need to actually read the log file.
