C++ logging file

This code will create a log file named --today's date--.log and append log messages to the file. Each log message has the current date and time before each message. To compile in linux use this command:

g++ -o example.out logExample.cpp

Enjoy:

//logExample.h file
#ifndef LOGEXAMPLE_H
#define LOGEXAMPLE_H

#include "stdio.h"
#include "stdlib.h"
#include
#include
using std::string;


class log_example
{
public:

log_example();
~log_example();
void printLog(std::string message);
void printLogError(std::string message);

private:
void printDateTime();
FILE * pFile;


};

#endif

//logExample.cpp file
#include "log_example.h"

log_example::log_example()
{
//create log file

strftime(outstr, sizeof(outstr), "%F", tmp);
std::string logFile(outstr);
logFile.append(".log");
pFile = fopen (logFile.c_str(),"a");

printLog( "log_example constructor called");

}
