Features:
- Complete top-to-bottom clean-up of the code including large parts that were re-written.
- Simplified much of the HTML ... but tried to stay true to the original look.
- Changed the way the total number of results is calculated. My approach requires MySQL 4.0 or later. This way you can use a LIMIT statement and still get the total number of potential results if you had not used LIMIT. Also implemented an option to turn off this feature if using older versions of MySQL (no count will be displayed on older versions of MySQL).
- Changed the list of result pages. It lists links to the 11 closest pages and adds FIRST, PREV, NEXT and LAST links. This only works correct when you have a total row count but limited functionality is offered for MySQL 3.x users (First, Prev and Next links).
- The max-limit input variable is probably mostly useless now so it was removed.
- Added sorting by column (seq, facility, severity, datetime).
- Changed the way to and from times/dates are handled. A blank date field indicates any date. And if a date is entered and no time is specified then 00:00:00 is used for the FROM time and 23:59:59 is used for the TO time. Entering a time without a date results in the time being ignored.
- 'now', 'today' and 'yesterday' are valid values for the date inputs on the search page (now and today are the same).
- 'now' is valid value for the time inputs on the search page.
- Did some prep work to allow an arbitrary number of inputs when searching for specific messages.
- The hostname link on the result page (for both the regular result and the tail result) narrows down the search to only include that particular host.
- The results in the tail script can be narrowed down using many of the same variables as the regular search result.
- MySQL functions that include basic database error handling.
- Included some sample scripts for setup etc (create database and database users, logrotate, syslog to mysql).
