Manually triggering an "access" hit?

I'm writing a custom integration for my software. Right now I have come up with a way to check if a person has a valid subscription using something like this:

Code:

$login = 'Username';
$pass = 'password';

include "/path/to/amember/config.inc.php";

$member_id='';
if($db->check_login($login, $pass, $member_id))
{
  $user = $db->get_user($member_id);  // $user - associative array of user info;
   ......
   ......
   ......

However, I was wondering if there was an easy way to register a 'hit' on the access logs for that user. Something like:

Code:

// (pseudocode)
$db->register_access($member_id,$url);

Hopefully my question makes sense. I just want to be able to utilize the nice 'access tracking' system even though my users aren't really logging in and browsing pages, per se.

I don't suppose the code for log_access() is available, huh? I could certainly adjust it for my needs if I had it. I could write a routine to add to the MySQL table directly I guess ...but, it'd sure be easier to mimic the same procedure that aMember is doing already for more "traditional" access counting.

Otherwise, I hope you'll consider providing more optional arguments for that function so we can manually set the information we wish to see (including IP, URL, "custom field", etc.)



EDIT:
-----
It appears that calling that function from within my script creates a nasty warning ...any way to supress it?

Code:

<b>WARNING:</b> gethostbyaddr(): Address is not a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address
in line 1605 of file mysql.inc.php<br />

EDIT 2:
------
Now that I went and looked at the 'access_log' table of the aMember database, I think it might be easier than I had originally thought. I didn't realize it had so few fields! But ..then again, if you have the source handy and don't mind sharing that little function, it'd save me half an hour
