Gathering web server stats using PHP?

Hi guys,

Im hosted with tsohost and was wondering if anyone knows any good tutorials or info about getting web server stats with PHP?

The reason is because Ive set up a little online admin component for my site and want it to display certain stats on the home page such as total visits this week, etc.

Google doesnt turn up much besides the typical stats programs (webalyser, etc) so has anyone got any info here?

Cheers.

Thanks for the info Adz. I didn't realise there would be so much work in gathering a few stats, I think this may be overkill for the few things that I wanted to display but I'll look into it anyway.

I wondered if there were some existing scripts that access standard web server logs and get you the info you want? I haven't been able to find any so I guess it's not that simply
