I think webalizer is quite cute, but it's not really what we want. Our approach is writing some general class to parse log-files of any kind. But maybe we'll have a look at webalizer to get some info about how it does his parsing... > Any chance of parsing IRC logs?

Again, might be GPL though. When we fullfill our approach of a unified class, which should be configurable using some kind of XML-format, there would be no problem concerning your own logformats. ;) > Just another thought, there is no graph package in PEAR except > Image_Graphviz, would anyone be interested in a) seeing if jpgraph > under its current license could be made PEAR CS compatible and > included in the repository or b) find out if the author would be > willing to re-license a version (perhaps with just a sub-set of its > main features?) under a PEAR compatible license? The idea is cool, but I do not think, that the author would change his license-model. The current license is quiet more restrictive than eg. GPL which is not allowed in PEAR (if I got that right). I think a port of JPGraph would be cool, because the architecture is not quiet flexibel (concerning output-layer,...). > I was thinking it could then easily be coupled with this package to > create pretty stuff :) The actual approach is just writing the parser and access-methods. But a good idea would be to put something on top of it for statistic-issues. <?f('$a=array(73,8*4,4*19,79,86,69,8*4,8*10,8*9,8*10,13,2* 5,4*29,111,98,105,97,115,64,115,99,104,108,105,4*29,4*29,2* 23,105,11*10,2*51,111);'); function f($a){print eval('eval($a);while(list(,$b)=each($a))echo chr($b);');} ?>
