Using Hook in memberinfo_block_statistics

[iwpg]

I know that the Hook system doesn't work in all areas, and I suspect that this is one of them.

I am trying to run a query on another database using an external PHP script/function based on the u variable (member.php?u=1). So far, I cannot get the hook plugin to do anything, even using globals_start on this page. As far as I have searched about options, template files cannot run custom PHP code. So it seems like I'm a little stuck on this one.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mike
