PHP script to highlight log files

Arnar · Post by **Arnar** » Thu Jul 24, 2003 7:07 am

Hello out there..

I wrote a PHP script to highlight my log files in a web browser. Thought it might be useful to someone out there. There are samples of it's output at http://www.hi.is/~arnarbi/shot1.html and http://www.hi.is/~arnarbi/shot2.html. I don't have any logs from a real channel, if anyone tries this out with actual data and could post samples, it would be wonderful. Btw. the blue-background highlighted strings in shot1.html were acquired by using an url like http://kassi.oddi.is/~arnarb/irc-loggar ... ?hi=eggert (this url is not publicly available).

It's simple to set up, put your logfiles in a directory available to your web server, use a .htaccess file to define an action for text/plain files which serves them through the script. Step-by-step instructions are found inside the script itself.

It has the following features:
- higlights channel logs (logged with jpk flags)
- reckognizes all 16 irc colors, bold and underline formatting
- makes urls clickable
- inserts "silence for m hours n minutes" where appropriate
- no preprocessing needed, acts as a http handler for text/plain files
- highlighting of search string if "?hi=whatever" is appended to the url

The script is available at http://www.hi.is/~arnarbi/formatter.txt, just change the .txt ending to .php, .php4 or whatever your webserver uses.

Hyperlinks to shot2.html and formatter.txt include a dot and a comma, respectively. This was BB's doing, you have to remove them manually, sorry.

Hm, i got errors too

Internal Server Error

The Error Log said:
[Fri Sep 12 00:01:46 2003] [alert] [client 192.168.0.2] ../logs/.htaccess: Action not allowed here

"Action text/plain /web/path/to/.formatter.php"
the "Action" command he don't understands...

What could it be ?

Oh nevermind, i solved the error
but now i got this

PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in /logs/formatter.php on line 46

This is about your code, no ?

LOL, more one post!

Now it's working

There is an error on line 46 of your program
in the end of the line, where it says:
"($period/60,"hour","hours");"

add just a ")" before the ";", like this:

($period/60,"hour","hours"));

and it should work correctly now ( for me it's perfect ! )

Please update your file!

Thanks for this script, i was looking for this for months !

Bye
