php log Viewer

Does anyone know of a php based log viewer that I can use to view my system logs? I'm looking for a simple script that will require a login (doesn't have to interface with a database, but would be nice) that would display my current system logs. Any ideas or should I write this my self.

There's php-syslog-ng with which you could use a simple htaccess file to secure the login. There's a gentoo wiki article which describes how to setup php-syslog-ng.

I'm using metalog, will it still work?

probably not because syslog and metalog are a bit different

thats what i figured but wasn't sure if there was a module for it, I guess i'll just write my own which isn't that bad, I was just looking for a way to save time

It might work if you configure metalog to log into a mysql database.
php-syslog-ng reads from the database and builds the website from there.

With syslog-ng you configure this with a proper 'destination' statement - with metalog you could use 'command' to do the job. (untested though)
