Quick script to check user bandwidth usage

A buddy needed a quick report to see if one of his users was slamming his site. I got a little carried away and wrote a PHP script (plus some awk and grep) to make a little report for him. I am sure it is full of bugs and will bring your server crashing down. So, use at your own risk.



$ ./bwreport.php -h

Usage: bwreport.php [-d YYYYMMDD] [-u URI] [-i HOST/IP] [-r REGEXP] [-v]

-d YYYYMMDD     Date of the logs to parse. If no date provided, yesterday assumed.

-i IP/HOST      Only report log lines with IP/HOST for host part of log line

-r REGEXP       Only report log lines that match REGEXP.  Should be a valid grep regexp

-u URI          Only report log lines with URI match to URI

-v              Verbose mode

I only looked briefly to your script, but because its a shell script, you should use $argv[0] instead of $_SERVER to access the script name.

Cheers

Ah I forgot one tip.
Instead of the shebang
#!/usr/local/bin/php
this one is better
#!/usr/bin/env php
because it more independet from system environment :)
