Unpack in PHP differs from the unpack functions in languages such as Perl in that it returns an associative array, with the keys named in the decode or encoding string. Very neat! Here's an example where we take a fixed format data file from our mail server and analyse each line to count the spam and regular emails.
Working sample at
http://www.wellho.net/demo/mail_analysis.php4 Code:<?php
// Spam tables - sample PHP script from Well House Consultants // Handles our internal "wash.log" data file format
$now = time()/24/60/60; $fh = fopen("$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]/../wash.log","r"); $nlines = 0; $maxage = 28;
while (1) { $nlines ++; $line = fgets($fh,1024); if (feof($fh)) break; $about = unpack("A21from/A21to/A43subject/A3status/". "A6spam/A6limit/A9bytes/A3skipper/". "A11when",$line); $daysago = ($about[when]/24/60/60); $age = floor($now - $daysago); $status = trim($about[status]) == "Yes" ? 1 : 0; $tab[$age][$status]++; } for ($k=0; $k<count($tab)-1; $k++) { if ($k > $maxage) break; $rows .= ("<tr>"); $rows .= ("<td>less than $k day".(($k==1)?"":"s")." old</td>"); $rows .= ("<td>".$tab[$k][1]." spams</td>"); $rows .= ("<td>".$tab[$k][0]." allowed through</td>"); $rows .= ("</tr>\n"); $nvalid += $tab[$k][0]; $nspam += $tab[$k][1]; } $stamp = date("r"); $percentage = sprintf("%.1f%%",100.0*$nvalid/($nvalid+$nspam)); ?> <html><head><title>Spam Tables - <?= $stamp ?> </title></head> <body bgcolor=#CCFFFF><h1>Spam Tables</h1> <b>Spam counts for last month - wellho.net mail server</b><br> Report timestamped <?= $stamp ?><br><br> <table border=1><?= $rows ?></table><br> <?= $nvalid ?> valid and <?= $nspam ?> spam emails. <?= $percentage ?> valid.<br><br> <a href=http://www.wellho.net/resources/privacy.html>Copyright Well House Consultants</a>, <?= date("Y") ?><br> email: <a href=mailto:graham@wellho.net>graham@wellho.net</a><br> web: <a href=http://www.wellho.net/>http://www.wellho.net</a> </body> </html> |
