Looking for a PHP-based script for viewing/sorting/searching log files.

[KuJoe]

I have about 20GB worth of PuTTY log files that I want to dump onto a VPS so I can access them later if needed (I hate deleting stuff that's less than a year old). Any ideas of a simple PHP script that I can throw on a webserver and then put the log files into a directory and it can handle searches and display the files if needed? Thanks.

Don't know if this is 100% what you're looking for but...

Edit: Yeah I think this is exactly what you're looking for.

It does essentially what he is looking for but its not as simple as what he wants, the elasticsearch and java backend is rather hefty for something simple like that.

I've got creating something lightweight on my Todo list since many of the tools on the market are just not designed for VPS hosts, they are more for apache/web applications. Tools being graylog2, splunk, logstash ect.

If you do not want to use Logstash + Kibana (which are awesome, +1 from me) there are not many options sadly. There is graylog2 but that is rails and there is this php thingy: https://code.google.com/p/php-syslog-ng/ but that requires logs to be in MySQL...

Ehh true.  But there's no real perfect solution for it as far as I can tell haha.
