Hi there,

Try this PHP code:

Code:

$Logfile = '/mnt/' . date("Y-m-d") . '.log';
$Message = file_get_contents($Logfile);

Regards,

Clifford

Hi cliffordw,

I had to modify the script as per request .Now my log file is located as below .

TAR=/bin/tar
DIR=`date +%m%d%Y`
DES=/vol-112124
MYDIR=$DES/$DIR
LOG=$MYDIR/`date +%F`.log

Can you tell , what should be the path of $message

I tried below way, but not working.

$Logfile = '$MYDIR' . date("Y-m-d") . '.log';

Hi there,

I assume your commands above to set the variables are in a shell script. Are you calling the PHP code from the same script after setting these?

If so, you need to add this to the script after setting LOG:

Code:

export LOG

Then you can try this in your PHP code:

Code:

$LogFile = getenv('LOG');

If not, the variables you have set are probably not available to the PHP code, so you have to set them again in your PHP code, as follows:

Code:

$DIR = date("mdY");
$DES = '/vol-112124';
$MYDIR = $DES . '/' . $DIR;
$Logfile = $MYDIR . '/' . date("Y-m-d") . '.log';

Hope this helps!
