My hosting company uses LiveStats for log stats. Since my employer won't pop for any client side stat software, I can't use any other stats analyzer.

My question is - I soon will porting my forums from UBB to phpBB and moving them onto the server using LiveStats - will I be able to see an accurate count of the page views for the forums? Does anyone have any experience with viewing stats using LiveStats and php pages? (or any other dynamic scripting i guess...)

LiveStats is on most of the sites I work with, but I generally don't use it except to check the weekly visitors, I use client side analyzers for everything else. All the sites I check LiveStats on run ASP and it seems accurate, so I can only assume it would work fine with PHP as well.

There are a few very good client side log analyzers that are free you should check out, Analog combined with Report Magic looks just as good (if not better) as most paid software.
