So, wie have to look for a > unified API, but implementing wholy different possibillities for each log-type. First thing that came to my mind when I read your post was: "great, now I'll be able to parse that stupid customized log I have in that old application of mine". So, here is the question: have you thought about parsing not just known log formats (apache et al) but any log? My first thought was to pass some kind of config object to the parser for defining the format: $entries = Log_Parser::Read('/var/log/mylog',$config); Don't know what to use for the config really, because as far as I know order of element/option is irrelevant for most config file formats (xml, .ini, etc...). What do you think of that idea? Xavier
