Thats why people who want entreprise apps
must use enterprise frameworks.

In J2EE for instance you could use LOG4J
which is sorta equivalent of syslog for java.

See if there is a logging module for PHP.

PgSQL has no clue of who the user is.
I dont think delegating this logging task
to pgSQL is a good idea.

Dont get me wrong,
I like and use php myself, but only when i know
the exact limits of how far the specific project
will go in the future.
