I am pleased to announce the launch of a free open-source kill mail parser called "EVEkill". At the moment, it is in an early stage of development. Its features are basic, but I have high hopes for the future development of it.
The homepage can be found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/evekill/
The public demo can be found at
http://evekill.sourceforge.net/demo/index.php
The admin control page is not accessible at this time.
Anyone may use this program for any purpose. You may alter it as you see fit, but if you re-distribute it you have to use the same license (GNU General Public License).
I welcome all comments/feedback/ideas via the homepage. Any bugs should also be posted using the bug reporting option on the homepage.
EVEkill is writen in PHP, and has been designed to use a MySQL database. It can be intergrated with most existing forum software, although the distribution only comes with phpBB 2.0, phpNuke 7.x and Invision Power Board 1.3 support. If you use a different piece of software, you would need to create your own auth module.
- PHP 4.1 or higher (Untested on PHP 5)
- MySQL 4.0 or 3.23
- A webserver
EDIT: Forgot to post requirements!

i am a newbie to code:
but line 665 of install.php
if( version_compare("4.2.0", phpversion() ) < 0 )
you could try changing that but I know very little about what it'll do or if it'll bugger your site up :).
Btw - thanks Chef - Its just what i needed when I get it installed myself.

The script works perfectly on PHP 5.02, tested it myself. I'll have a closer look at templates and features during the week.
Edit - The only problem I get is that it fails to write the Kill Mail to disc for verification by an admin.

Whoops my bad! It should read "Version 4.2.0" or higher minimum. The main reason for this is so that register_globals is off by default. You can disable it by:
Find line 665 in install.php. it will look like this
if( version_compare("4.2.0", phpversion() ) < 0 )
Replace that line with this
if( true )
This will disable version checking. I haven't designed or tested the script for anything less than 4.2, but I see no reason why it should not/would not work. Let me know how it goes!
EDIT: Or alternatively, redownload the package from sourceforge, because I have just fixed the install.php file (Touch Wood)

Sadly, I make use of php features that were put in to php 4.1, so there is no way for you to easily get the script up and running. If you know what you are doing, then the problem is that I use the $_POST and $_SESSION variables which don't exist in php 4.0

The simplest way would be to use $var instead of $_POST['var'], but that would mean editing the whole script. I'll just hold out and keep bugging my host admin to upgrade.

Hrm, i'm getting a whole host of errors now...I cant seem to select IPB, phpNuke, or phpBB withough having the script exlode with errors during later steps of the autoinstaller. I can run the script fine if i select the "No Authorisation" in step 1...but then can't add killmails, etc.

Can you please send me the error messages you get, what stage it happens at, and what forum stuff you are using? Just like EVE, EVEkill will probably be plagued with bugs for the next day or so

This would be pretty easy to solve using regular expressions though.
Replace \$_POST\[\'(.*)\'\] with \$(...) in all files, where "..." is the stuff you got from inbetween the ''s.
I'm no regex pro so I can't help much more, but you can do this using sed for instance.

Using $var instead of $_POST['var'] is a security flaw, because it could be from a cookie, post data, get data, session data etc etc. However, it might be possible/easy to copy the PHP 4 style global variables into the PHP 4.1 style global variables... but its not something I would plan on doing soon! (Heading back to uni tomorrow, packing like mad at the moment)

Ok, using the IPB auth thing in step 1 i get:
Warning: installgetsettings(): Unable to access /home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/meltedpixel.net/evekill/conf_global.php in /home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/meltedpixel.net/evekill/auth/ipb1_3.php on line 131

Warning: installgetsettings(): Failed opening '/home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/meltedpixel.net/evekill/conf_global.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/meltedpixel.net/evekill/auth/ipb1_3.php on line 131
on step 3. However, on step 3 i do see the Settings Are Ok image and the rest of the text fields. then i get this:
Critical MySQL Error
Unable to run specified query (SELECT g_id, g_title FROM groups ORDER BY g_title ASC)
Table 'daveblauconsulting_com_-_evekill.groups' doesn't exist
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/meltedpixel.net/evekill/database/mysql4.php on line 97
on step 4. it addition on step 4 it doesnt have the check boxes under Can View, Can Upload, Can Admin.
What I would do is this:
assuming the reason you are using the IPB, phpNuke, and/or phpBB auth systems to authenticate the killboard users I would conclude that these warnings/errors are coming from the fact that you are trying to incorporate the IPB, phpNuke, and/or phpBB auth systems into your script. I would recomend not doing this and instead just password protect the directories that hold the upload killmail or admin pages. that way you are using the server's built in authentication system instead of trying to incorporate IPB, phpNuke, and/or phpBB's auth systems, making it a much cleaner rout.

The path you have specified as your parent root does not appear to be correct.
/home/virtual/site2/fst/var/www/html/meltedpixel.net/evekill/conf_global.php
I would suggest removing the /evekill/ from the end of your PARENT home directory.
As for the MySQL error, I think you haven't correctly set the parent table prefix. Its look for a table (called groups) but it can't find it.
The warnings are bugs on my part, as you should get some proper informative error messages instead! I hope this helps.

Hrm, still getting the errors. When I remove /evekill/ from the PARENT home dir in step 2 it says it can't find the image "settings_good.gif". Thus, I know having /evekill/ on the end is the right thing to do. I guess im a little foggy on what u mean by Parent Table Prefix, please explain what that is.

Step 2:
Main site folder address - The folder in which your forum software (IPB) is. You need to change this to make the error go away
Main site website address - The URL for your forums.
EVEkill folder address - Where EVEkill is.
The "Settings Okay" image will only test that the EVEkill website address is okay.
This would be easier to do via MSN, you can find my contact details here: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1203739&forum_id=419938
I will have to start packing my PC in about an hour, and it won't be until Monday evening that I'll get it back up

Oooh! I got it. I didn't know u were assuming there was a forum installation already there...I just thought u were trying to use those pre-built auth systems in your engine..nvm! :)

Yes, that could well be the slight problem
Its basically an add-on to existing forum software. You can use the same name/password as the forums without issue. I am planning to build a stand-alone authorisation module so that you can install EVEkill without installing a piece of forum software, but that is still a soonÖish dream

I managed to install it.
The main problem is the
Main Site url in step 2 was automatically going to home/EveKill, it just needs to be the home url.
The look is very basic. The first thing i want to change is to allow vistors to the site to view the board and essentially turn it into a nuke module with blocks.
The statistics side is good, I was thinking of linking in some icons so that via the account info it can pick up profile data (talking phpnuke here) and maybe under the Your Account info register all your kills eg Laid the Final Blow & Participated catagories and so on. But that is more a full integrated of the tool into nuke as a module.

Thanks - its up & running now (at least in its beta version).
I found a bug on the second screen after scanning a mail in, if you select 'admin will add manually' you get errors.
& you mispelt vagabond in the ships table hence it was not recognised at first.
If i could ask for a top priority feature it would be to enable it to be viewed by anyone as an option.
Another would be to allow admins to edit or delete kill mail entries from the frontend access perhaps via admin.php
Other than that - just more functionality really, being able to view other peoples kills/losses, more stats and so on. I'll have a hard look after my exams are over.
But top job on it!

Thanks for reporting these bugs, I will get a fix out tonight.

Technically possible... If you make everyone a member of a single group and give that group "Can View" permissions then they will all be able to view everything (Although not upload). However, this can be a bit difficult to do if you aren't using phpBB. I will add a default group in the next version so you can easily give everyone "Can View" permissions.
