No, but I don't see how you could make this much more complicated than:

<html>
  <head><meta http-equiv="refresh" url="0;httpd_error_log_tail.php"
/></head>
  <body bgcolor="#ffffff">
    <?php
      exec("tail /var/log/httpd/error_log", $output, $error);
      echo nl2br(htmlentities(implode("", $output)));
      if ($error) echo "<hr /><b>OS Error: $error</b>\n";
    ?>
  </body>
</html>

But maybe I'm just too much a K.I.S.S. kind of guy...

Though why one wouldn't juse use SSH to do this in the first place is
beyond me...

But they had guys at an old job that did this, after I turned OFF
display_output on their production server...  [shudder]
