Maybe I don't understand the quesiton?

If you want to know what code the $headeronline var calls here are the instructions written by you.

************************************************
** Number of online users in header / footer! **
************************************************

1. Add the following code to your phpinclude template (PHP-Parsed code):
************************************************************
// start - get online users (hack by firefly)
$datecut=time()-$cookietimeout;
$headerguests=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM session WHERE userid=0 AND lastactivity>$datecut");
$headerusers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(userid)) AS count FROM session WHERE session.userid>0 AND session.lastactivity>$datecut");
$headerguests=$headerguests[count];
$headerusers=$headerusers[count];
$headeronline=$headerguests+$headerusers;
// end - get online users (hack by firefly)
************************************************************

2. Save the template changes.

3. Place $headeronline wherever you want in either your header or footer templates to show number of online users. In addition, you can also use $headerguests to show number of online guests, or $headerusers to show number of online members.

Enjoy the hack. :-)

Is that what you wanted?
