Why does this code reset my stats?

[JohnBee]

I have been trying to reproduce an external.php file that shows my max users
online outside of vbulletin.

I have taken the data from my index.php WOL sectiona and placed it in
an external file, to date it does work somewhat but everytime I run the file
it resets my global max users online stats to whatever the number is
currently on my board.

can someone help me find a way so it doesn't reset the data?
here is my code:


<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
require_once("./global.php");
$datecut = time()-$vboptions['cookietimeout'];

$activeusers = '';
if ($vboptions['displayloggedin'])
{
$datecut = TIMENOW - $vboptions['cookietimeout'];
$numbervisible = 0;
$numberregistered = 0;
$numberguest = 0;

$forumusers = $DB_site->query("
SELECT
user.username, (user.options & $_USEROPTIONS[invisible]) AS invisible, user.usergroupid,
session.userid, session.inforum, session.lastactivity,
IF(displaygroupid=0, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session AS session
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON(user.userid = session.userid)
WHERE session.lastactivity > $datecut
" . iif($vboptions['displayloggedin'] == 1, "ORDER BY username ASC") . "
");

if ($bbuserinfo['userid'])
{
// fakes the user being online for an initial page view of index.php
$bbuserinfo['joingroupid'] = iif($bbuserinfo['displaygroupid'], $bbuserinfo['displaygroupid'], $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']);
$userinfos = array
(
$bbuserinfo['userid'] => array
(
'userid' => $bbuserinfo['userid'],
'username' => $bbuserinfo['username'],
'invisible' => $bbuserinfo['invisible'],
'inforum' => 0,
'lastactivity' => TIMENOW,
'usergroupid' => $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'],
'displaygroupid' => $bbuserinfo['displaygroupid'],
)
);
}
else
{
$userinfos = array();
}
$inforum = array();

while ($loggedin = $DB_site->fetch_array($forumusers))
{
$userid = $loggedin['userid'];
if (!$userid)
{ // Guest
$numberguest++;
$inforum["$loggedin[inforum]"]++;
}
else if (empty($userinfos["$userid"]) OR ($userinfos["$userid"]['lastactivity'] < $loggedin['lastactivity']))
{
$userinfos["$userid"] = $loggedin;
}
}

foreach($userinfos AS $userid => $loggedin)
{
$numberregistered++;
if ($userid != $bbuserinfo['userid'])
{
$inforum["$loggedin[inforum]"]++;
}
$loggedin['musername'] = fetch_musername($loggedin);

}

// memory saving
unset($userinfos, $loggedin);

$activeusers = substr($activeusers , 2); // get rid of initial comma

$DB_site->free_result($loggedins);

$totalonline = $numberregistered + $numberguest;
$numberinvisible = $numberregistered - $numbervisible;

// ### MAX LOGGEDIN USERS ################################
$maxusers = unserialize($datastore['maxloggedin']);
if (intval($maxusers['maxonline']) <= $totalonline)
{
$maxusers['maxonline'] = $totalonline;
$maxusers['maxonlinedate'] = TIMENOW;
build_datastore('maxloggedin', serialize($maxusers));
}

$recordusers = $maxusers['maxonline'];
$recorddate = vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'], $maxusers['maxonlinedate'], true);
$recordtime = vbdate($vboptions['timeformat'], $maxusers['maxonlinedate']);

$show['loggedinusers'] = true;
}
else
{
$show['loggedinusers'] = false;
}

print 'Most users ever online was '.$recordusers.', ' .$recorddate.' at '.$recordtime;

?>

If you just want to display the data, I would think you don't need much more than this ;


<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

$specialtemplates = array(
'maxloggedin',
);

require_once("./global.php");

// ### MAX LOGGEDIN USERS ################################
$maxusers = unserialize($datastore['maxloggedin']);

$recordusers = $maxusers['maxonline'];
$recorddate = vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'], $maxusers['maxonlinedate'], true);
$recordtime = vbdate($vboptions['timeformat'], $maxusers['maxonlinedate']);

print 'Most users ever online was '.$recordusers.', ' .$recorddate.' at '.$recordtime;

?>
