Tracking Up & Down Volume

[Anon]

I want to write a script in php that makes it possible to track the volume down & uploaded to and from my server. Not just the count of down & uploads but the actual volume.
Anybody got an idea where I can start ?

I assume you are talking about just the file-uploads and downloads, and not the webserver html file downloads.

In your upload routine there has to be a copy command, you can add a filesize checker there and add the amount to the upload stats.

As for download, you'd need top build a wrapper script that will offer the file to the client, and add the filesize to the total while doing so.

You'll have to think of a safe way of storing the totals though.
Simply writing it to a file is not multi-user safe.
