Users Online on my main PHP page

[msimonds]

I am trying to locate a script that will post the "Users online" (i.e. There are currently X members and X guests online) on my main PHP page. Is there a way to work around this. The main page is not a vB page.

TIA

Do you want the number of users, the active user list, or both!?

[msimonds]

Just the number of users - thanks

Is your main page connecting to a database and if so is it the same database as your vBulletin is in? and yes it does matter. :)

I can answer this: yes and yes.

[msimonds]

Very true - its a big yes - so I should be able to fecth the data in a variable or....?

[holden]

Might anyone be able to tell me how I can do this? I have a index.php and my forums are in /forums/. I am already connected to the vBulletin database because Im using another script I got from here to display the latest threads. And I include global for logging in purposes. I know how to use the $bbuserinfo array. But I dont know how to do current users. I would like to list all the current users. Any help is appreciated.

Oh. NM. I found something about it here.
