i don see them showing up in my whos online

I have another way of tracking active users and it shows 250 in the last 5 min and this one that track it in 30 min is showing 120

What's the other way that you use?

http://ripper.webrats.com

at the bottom i have the code

its not adding to the guest when someone visits that page

This is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for however, I've had a few problems:

1. When using "online.php" everything is fine and working (formatting of the output text isn't great but that's easy enough to change). However, that's only the case while I'm logged into the boards, if I'm not logged in I get the "Unable to add cookies, header already sent." message. online.php works fine on it's own regardless of log in status, only the including seems to screw it up.
2. Using "online_external.php" outputs results regardless of login status however the results displayed on my page are similar to "Members online: 00, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0. Guests online: 26." This is the case on the standalone page too.
3. I'm still don't fully understand the use of the
   PHP Code:

   ---

   "print $show;" 


   ---

   instructions, I'm probably a fool but they don't seem to be explained that clearly i.e. exactly which page we're adding this code to and whereabouts on the page it should be added to.
4. One other small request, any chance that when usernames are displayed by choice the names are links to the corresponding users profile (new window)?

Thank you for listening to my moaning ;)

hi! Is there a way to change the font style and size of this? Thanks in advance

1. Can the user names include the links to their profiles? if so, how do I add them?

2. Can the extra "most users online ... " text be added? if so, how?

3. Finally can the extra bit "Who visited today" also be added? That'd kick ass!

Thanks!

Simple HTML will do the trick you can use the <span></span> tags around the $show variable perhaps? I haven't tried it myself but it may work such as:

<span class=\"format\">$show</span>

or something like that. Of course you would have to define .class in your stylesheet. :D

thanks but grateful if you could give me a more detailed instruction since im not that good in html. Thanks

instead of print $show maybe you can use

echo "<span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px\">$show</span>";

Obviously you can change the font-family and font-size to whatever else you want :)

Great! it works! Thanks a lot pal! :)
