I've been digging and digging into the vb script, as well as searching the span of 3 different sites for this information, and have yet to find the proper method for doing this.

What I would like to be able to do is this...
The "What's Going On" stats from the FORUMHOME / index.php page, as well as the "Newest Member" info, I would like to pull ALL of those variables into 1 php file, where I DEFINE the variables as global and call the page"homestats.php", where I can just put a simple:

ob_start();
include "homestats.php";
$homestats = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

That's all I want to do, however, I'm finding it nearly impossible to get straight solutions to this problem by simply searching for it on the various vb related forums.

My main focus for this request is getting the "Newest Member" username displayed on the FORUMDISPLAY, but I figured, I might as well request a full stat extraction, so I can use it elsewhere if needed later.

The project I'm working on is doing away with the FORUMHOME completely, I just simply do not need it. BUT, I do need some of the stats and info from it, which is where my issue has arisen.

If you can PLEASE help with this, I will thank you kindly, and put you in my prayers.
