Re: Parsing access_log entries

If you do $row=explode(' ",$line), you'll get $row[0] - IP address $row[1] - "-" $row[2] - "-" $row[3] - [Date/Time $row[4] - GMT offset] $row[5] - "GET or "POST $row[6] - document $row[7] - protocol" $row[8] - status $row[9] - something else. You should be able to get anything you need from that with minimal extra processing.
