Simple stats on non-VB page

[JohnK]

I am looking for a way to show the number of members and total posts on a non-VB php page.

I have looked at various hacks here, but none seem to do this (or if they do it's in with a whole bunch of other stuff!).

Ideally I would just like to be able to easily include the values so that I can have some text that simply says "In the forums we have xxxxx registered members who have posted xxxxxx messages".

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks
John

Something like this should work.

PHP Code:

$numbersmembers=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS users,MAX(userid) AS max FROM user');
$numbermembers=number_format($numbersmembers['users']);
$countposts=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts FROM post');
$totalposts=number_format($countposts['posts']);
$countthreads=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM thread');
$totalthreads=number_format($countthreads['threads']); 


And use

$totalthreads $totalposts $numbermembers,

In the templates...

Thanks for that. What would I need to do to use this in a non-VB page though?
