I am trying to make a php parser that examines log files from a dedicated server and puts them in a database to show on a specific website - so that the drivers registered on this site can enter their id's (driver name, steam ID, steam user etc.) and see their stats.
It is going very well, and all is working, but I have one problem:
- Instead of using driver names as identification for users when presenting data, I want to use their steam ID or steam username to connect the stats to the user's account. This cannot be done as I see it since there is no steam id or steam user name in the log file. Why is this so?? Does anybody know this problem?
Is there a solution to this problem other than linking regular driver names that can be used by multiple persons and not only one unique person?
An example:
Brian Peterson drives three laps on Anderstorp. He has a Steam ID of 1553543445 and account name brianp5658564. This is listed in his own log file. But when he is finished driving and the log file is uploaded through the Race 07 reporter (which is also used for GTR Evo) there are NO steam id or steam username - only driver name.
