Laravel 4 - logging SQL queries

Question

There are already several questions in regards to logging the SQL query in Laravel 4. But I\'ve tried almost all of them and it\'s still not working the way I want.

Here is what I am currently using for logging of sql queries. You should be able to drop this into your main routes file then add 'log' => true into your database config.

if (Config::get('database.log', false))
{           
    Event::listen('illuminate.query', function($query, $bindings, $time, $name)
    {
        $data = compact('bindings', 'time', 'name');

        // Format binding data for sql insertion
        foreach ($bindings as $i => $binding)
        {   
            if ($binding instanceof \DateTime)
            {   
                $bindings[$i] = $binding->format('\'Y-m-d H:i:s\'');
            }
            else if (is_string($binding))
            {   
                $bindings[$i] = "'$binding'";
            }   
        }       

        // Insert bindings into query
        $query = str_replace(array('%', '?'), array('%%', '%s'), $query);
        $query = vsprintf($query, $bindings); 

        Log::info($query, $data);
    });
}

Thanks to Jeemusu answer for the bit about inserting the bindings into the prepared statement.
