Debugging with PHP Access logs

The PHP access logs have been customised to include additional MageStack information for debugging.

A typical access log entry will look like this,

- -  10/Jul/2014:22:27:49 +0100 "GET /index.php" 200

The default format is "%R - %u %t "%m %r" %s"

Decompiling the log entry reveals,

1 - Remote IP Address
2 - Remote User
3 10/Jul/2014:22:27:49 +0100 Server Time
