The history page on the very first files I uploaded on March 15th didn't work. At that point I was trying to use javascript and ajax to see if I could get something working that didnt require a server side language.
By 31st of March I had a working version which was outputting history graphs fine but it was a bit messy, but had not developed a robust FTP script to automatically update the history files. - See
here.
My post on 1st April explained the difficulty with the FTP script I was having in that I had masses of history files on my local PC which could be problematic for web storage. At that I asked Stuart what he was doing re the uploads, but then realised that he didn't have a working ftp script for history either. Live stats have never been a problem and the ftp script for that has been working fine. - See
here.
On
12th April - I mentioned I had a working version which was outputting history to a remote website rather than installing WAMP. Again I mentioned history file size problem for the FTP script.
See also post here which specifically states that my version was outputting just SNRM and errors because that was all I needed
Atm I've only got historic data for SNRM & Err Secs purely because that's what I would look at first when it came to any historic data.
On May 6th I even had a bit of a rant because I had had zero feedback on what I'd done for the history pages. I think the problem was that perhaps posts between mine and stuarts had got muddled in the same thread and it appeared to me that no-one had even looked at mine despite me frequently posting the link
I've already done that and FTPing current stats for running remotely. Hate to sound like I'm doing the sour grape thing (and yeah I admit it is), but I have had absolutely zero interest in what I had done. Not a single comment in any of the various threads where I said I'd got something working for running on a remote website since March. Which is why I thought I was wasting my time developing an FTP version of historic and stopped as soon as I'd done only what I wanted (historic CRC, Err/Secs and SNRM) for my own line.
I can only assume that no-one had actually looked at what I had done and what I had got working several weeks ago. I think about the only comment I did get is saying they werent interested in running off a hosted site.
I've mentioned time and time again that the problem was not with the php code but rather a WinSCP script that was needed that would perhaps only upload the last months historic data because I had several years of DSLstat data.
In the end I took the easy option and just cleared out my local files of old data... and since then am using the FTP script to sync to local folders.
My edited post on 5th May says
Please note: The history section requires PHP to run and the output graphs work perfectly well by synchronising with local machine folders, but in time it would require a more robust FTP script to handle file management of older files.
As there has been little interest and zilch feedback in this section I stopped development after I got it to do what I needed (historic SNRM & errors). My original aim was that it would only upload latest graphs in the relevant local folders and delete older files on the remote server to keep hosting bandwidth to a minimum.
I'm not quite sure how I could have made it any clearer that my problems were developing a robust FTP script and NOT the php side of things.
I believe Stuart is also having problems in this area and he has to manually manage the history folders so we both got stuck at the same point.
Can you perhaps see now why I was getting frustrated to the point whereby I stopped mentioning that I had a working version and doing any further development, because as far as I'm concerned mine is currently doing all that it needs for me personally. I have passed the link out enough. I think b*cat will be able to confirm he saw it was working ages ago, but his comment was about the DSLstats graph size and nothing to do with my side of things.
There's no point in me updating or doing any further work if I had absolutely zero interest.
