Write some PHP

[Cannon]

See this: http://discoverygc.com/server/players_online.html

It would be neat if a php hacker could write a script or three to record and process the data in this list so that we could see statistics for lag and loss over time and put this on a pretty graph.

I'm thinking that the following stats would be interesting:
- av loss
- av lag
- av loss of the 5% worst players
- av lag of the 5% worst players

The scripts can run on the forum server and mysql db is available to record the data.

anybody keen?

I forwarded the link to a friend, if he has time/the will/ability to make something out of it.

Should hear from him this afternoon somewhere.

I'll have a wee look at it. But would be nice to get by PM the database layout and maybe a test data dump so I can test stuff. Also some general idea of how the PHP script gets the data from freelancer.

ehhhh after this gets done.
admins may ban players with high lags or loss parmenetly???

I did something like this in java a while back. Will have a go at this though.

Edit: < and similar HTML entities shouldn't be showing on the page.

The intention is so that people (and me) can see if there is a network connection issue to the server or if it is a only a single person's connection.

I would like to be able to see this over time on a pretty graph.

I can install graphing packages on the forum server if needed. There are some on it already although I can't remember the names.

The list information is not in a database. It needs to be parsed from the file *but* I can provide a database connection for the parsed information.

How long were you planning to store the historical information?
