How to Count number of replies from a thread id?

[Mattwhf]

First off, thanks Lynne for this tutorial How to Create your own vBulletin 4 page because I could create my own best web hosting page on our hosting forum, but now I am wanting to enhance it by adding some new functions, for example, show number of reviews from a thread id on my forum to that page.

In my page, I have User comments ? I want to show number of replies from a thread which a web hosting company is having review on their own thread. i.e 6 User comments ?

Is it possible to count number of replies from a thread id?

I mean (on Lynne's tutorial page ) then the code to count that will be putted on test.php and I can push it into a variable to display on my vB template.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
