PHP Driven Stats

Post by ericbarch »

Not sure if anyone would be interested in this quick script I threw together but I figured I'd post it to see if anyone would like to see it released:

http://andrew.ericbarch.com/~eric

All you have to do is point it to the directories where your F@H unitinfo.txt is located and it will parse it and display the info (with the choosing of your label).

It's only 50 lines of code, so it's not a whole lot...but if there's enough interest I'll consider putting up the source code for download.

What does everyone think?

EDIT:

I'm going to go ahead and release the source (please post cool mods and updates you make...I know the script is super basic right now.)

Simple and efficient ;)

Just a little question : how do you host your stats ? Do you need a local webserver ? or do you have to upload to host the results somewhere ?

It's just hosted on a local apache webserver for simplicity...but if you wanted to use 1 server as your "stat" server you could always have your machines just auto-FTP the unitinfo.txt files to the stat server and have that machine generate the progress page with PHP.

In case this gets popular and for efficiency sake, I'd suggest switching to a stylesheet rather than inline styles. That would reduce the amount of text sent to the client.

I went ahead and did a stylesheet for you...

- break tags are now closed (helps when coding in XSL...all tags must be closed...a good habit to get into)
- since I assume you're doing some math to calculate the white part of the progress bars, I left that style inline so you can drop in the % complete number
- specifying a font color for the .bar class is redundant (since your body text is white and so is the text in the progress bar) but it'll make it easier to change it in the future (if needed)
- got rid of a bunch of < span > tags that weren't being used (in the "Core x" lines and other places). The span tags weren't being closed, so I knew they weren't used at all.

Only ~9% reduction in size, but stylesheets make changing the look so much easier plus the PHP code will be easier to edit (less HTML mixed in with the PHP). For example, to change the color of the progress bars, you now have to change only one thing, not the same thing in four places.

Sweet, thanks for the suggestions. I've implemented most of it now and I'm going to go ahead and release the source (please post cool mods and updates you make...I know the script is super basic right now.)

Here's the working demo:
