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.

Answer 1

While the question was originally targeted at Laravel 4, I still ended up here through google, but I'm using Laravel 5.

There are new ways to log all queries in Laravel 5 using Middleware, but if you prefer the same approach here is the same code provided by Collin James but working for Laravel 5

if (Config::get('database.log', false))
{
    Event::listen('Illuminate\Database\Events\QueryExecuted', function($query)
    {
        $bindings = $query->bindings;
        $time = $query->time;
        $name = $query->connection->getName();
        $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->sql);
        $query = vsprintf($query, $bindings);

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