I want to get my apache's logs in PHP array to put them in the database, I tried this code :
$log = file_get_contents("path/to/my/apache/access_log");
$regex = '/^(\S+) (\S+) (\S+) \[([^:]+):(\d+:\d+:\d+) ([^\]]+)\] \"(\S+) (.*?) (\S+)\" (\S+) (\S+) "([^"]*)" "([^"]*)"$/';
preg_match($regex, $log, $matches);
print_r($matches);
It didn't work, the array is empty but i don't know why.
Thanks in advance for your help !
I was able to match the line with
/^(\S+) (\S+) (\S+) \[([^:]+):(\d+:\d+:\d+) ([^\]]+)\] \"(\S+) (.*?) (\S+)\" (\S+) (\S+)/gm
Note the m (multiline) ang g (global) flags at the end. You may also need to use preg_match_all function or yet better process the file one line at a time.
