how to use variables in global.php in header template?

[DionDev]

i have a little hack i added to the global.php file:


// forum stats start
$numbersmembers=$db->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS users,MAX(userid) AS max FROM user');
$numbermembers=number_format($numbersmembers['users']);
$countposts=$db->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts FROM post');
$totalposts=number_format($countposts['posts']);
$countthreads=$db->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM thread');
$totalthreads=number_format($countthreads['threads']);
// forum stats end


now this works when i use the variables on a non-vb page

how do i use these variables in the header template?

i tried adding this as a plugin to global_start and it still didnt work. UGH

the hack way around it would be to download "Let PHP Live" and change that to PHP and input it in the header template.

PHP Live is for v3.5 I think, but it works flawlessly.
