I have a server log file from which I am trying to create a PHP page which summaries the data it stores. Each record in the log is stored on a new line, and in the format:
207.3.35.52 -- [2007-04-01 01:24:42] "GET index.php HTTP/1.0" 200 11411 "Mozilla/4.0"
//ip -- [timestamp] "GET url HTTP/1.0" status code bytes "user agent".
I am trying to write a summary which displays: the total amount of requests, the total amount of requests form the articles directory, the total bandwidth consumed and finally the amount of 404 errors and their pages.
PHP:
$handle = fopen('logfiles/april.log','r') or die ('File opening failed');
$requestsCount = 0;
while (!feof($handle)) {
$dd = fgets($handle);
$requestsCount++;
$parts = explode('"', $dd);
$statusCode = substr($parts[2], 0, 4);
}
fclose($handle);
This code opens the file and counts the amount of records, seperates and finds the status code number in the record. When echoing $statusCode it does show the correct information, showing all the status codes in the log.
A function which accepts two arguements to total the 404 errors:
function requests404($l,$s) {
$r = substr_count($l,$s);
return "Total 404 errors: ".$r."<br />";
}
Echo the result:
echo requests404($statusCode, '404');
This function doesn't work, it just returns 0. Working with txt files in PHP is my weakest skill and I would really appreciate some help as I think I may be going about it the complete wrong way. Thanks.
