Hm, I don't think using a simple php script would work very reliably.
Parsing the log files can become a heavy task depending on the
logfile's size. So I think it's always the best solution to run the
analyzer from command line.

You could e.g. run the analyzer on a different host where you have
command line access and can run that scripted every night. The
resulting stats pages and graphs can then be synced back to the web-
only server.

Another possibility would be to use desktop programs for the logfile
analysis. I don't know of good free programs here, but at least there
are a few very professional commercial ones.

Both solutions only require access to the logfile which you told you
have.
