# Loading Log events from the database

Since the [LogEvent](/reference/core-classes/logevent.md) class extends the [Item](/reference/core-classes/item.md) class, and the [LogEvents](/reference/core-classes/logevents.md) class extends the [Items](/reference/core-classes/items.md) class, you can use them to load lists of [LogEvent](/reference/core-classes/logevent.md) objects from the database to work with.

For example, let's load the last fifty [LogEvent](/reference/core-classes/logevent.md) objects from the [Log](/reference/core-modules/log.md) database, using what we learned in the [Item lists](/guide/items-guide/item-lists.md) section of the [Items guide](/guide/items-guide.md):

```php
$logEvents = new \Cherrycake\Log\LogEvents([
	"p" => [
		"limit" => 50
	]
]);

foreach ($logEvents as $logEvent) {
	echo
		"[".$e->Locale->formatTimestamp($logEvent->dateAdded, ["isHours" => true, "isSeconds" => true])."] ".
		$logEvent->type.
		"\n";
}
```

The [LogEvents](/reference/core-classes/logevents.md) class accepts some additional keys on top of the usual [Items::fillFromParameters](/reference/core-classes/items/items-methods.md#fillfromparameters) keys:

* **`type`** Retrieves only [LogEvent](/reference/core-classes/logevent.md) objects of this class name. Must include the full namespace route to the class.
* **`fromTimestamp`** Retrieves [LogEvent](/reference/core-classes/logevent.md) objects triggered after this timestamp.
* **`toTimestamp`** Retrieves [LogEvent](/reference/core-classes/logevent.md) objects triggered up to this timestamp.
