    Write to a log file with PHP

    Cheers all,
    I would like to create my own log file and write to it using some linux system vars. I know how to create and write to a file with PHP, but I do not know how to capture or get the values from system variables like date, who, pwd, etc.

    Is there a way to get these values in a php script?

    Thanks for any tips...
    JohnC

    Eight years in PHP and I never knew that command was around.

    Most excellent! Thank you!

    Cheers!
