help with $vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]

[halliday06]

I am developing a script to run a website outside of VB, but using the vb login cresidentials n stuff.

i want to display the amount of guests at the top of the website..

i pulled $vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests] from the who's online bit

echo "Users Online: $vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]";

but when i view it from my page it comes out like this:

Users Online: %1$s members and %2$s guests

however it is displayed correctly on the forums,

any ideas why?

also where is the filed stored that holds the $vbphrase stuff?

thanks
