Exporting stats.chl to a dynamic php or html page

Can this be done? If So How. I would like to show users how much banwidth my server is using so they will stop bitching about download speeds. I transfer about 2 GB per day (and that's on a good day.

--Edit
On Second Thought seeing as the beta is out and chls have been eliminated is there anyway to export data from the stats page to a dynamic html/php file available to the public?

I havn't used beta but im sure the stats (as well as the other control files) are outside the htdocs, and anything within the htdocs can't be viewed unless you know your way around 'bad urls'. There might be a way though, ill look into it and see if I can find something .

TCG503,

Great suggestion. We'll try to make this information available in SSI variables.

I've also been trying to figure this out, a number of times...for the chl files, do they use an internal language or something? I guess I'll just give up (again..lol) for now, and wait for the info on the SSI stuff. :) I didn't even think of asking, but maybe that's because I now use an external program and got the author to add in a few features that would make bandwidth reporting simpler and more dynamic....

check out CS Fire Monitor at http://www.croftssoftware.com/ it's a cool little program and it's (of course) completely free :)

ok, will do. Thanks alot! :D

EDIT: Tried it out, got it working...sorta. It's only seeming to recognize the SSI directives when I have the file extension set to the SSI file extensions (stm shtm or shtml) and not in other file types, such as, php or any other. Is there something I need to do in order to get the directives noticed in all interpretable types? Also, how would I go about passing the uptime variable to a script to display it with DD:HH:MM:SS?

Sorry for the stupid questions, but I'm not really familiar with using these variables....my knowledge of them goes as far as this post signifies...heh

OK so what exactly is the correct syntax for putting the code for the stats in a page i.e. php, shtml?

All I did was put this:



Along with other directives, replacing the variable with what I wanted to show into a file with the extension of .stm....I'm not sure how to do it in a php file though, but I guess if you just did an include statement that that should theoretically work....but I haven't tried it yet.

The beta version has been available for months. Look in the section marked Beta at the bottom of the forum for a download link...
