Ever want a simple way to put your SETI(Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) stats on your webpage? Well, now that SETI@home is publishing personal stats in XML(eXtensible Markup Language) form, its easy to put your stats on your page, in a highly configurable way, using this little PHP(PHP Hypertext Preprocessor) script!

The following script: Seti Display Script parses the XML files provided by SETI@home, and provides tons of data about your stats, easy configuration, and features like adjustable caching to prevent hammering the SETI servers. Installation instructions are in the header of the PHP file, and should be pretty simple. The script was based on Phil Ringnalda’s excellent “PHP Blogroll”:http://www.philringnalda.com/phpblogroll/ script.

Update: Bigmad_drongo has cooked up a similar script that does about the same thing!
