Help with a mod

[BunkTek]

I've gotten X7 chat set up and am trying to add a "Currently In Chat" info area, like the "Currently Active Users". I have it all set up and am trying to get the following to work. vBulletin isn't pulling this information like it does on my chat page. I want people reading the forums to be able to see who is chatting from the forum.

Do I need to create a variable?

<?include_once("chatonline.php");list_totals();? >

<?include_once("chatonline.php");list_members(" - ");?>

Once I can get this to work I'll create a thread with everything I've done so that other people can use the information and set up X7, a really nice chat.

This is what the current code looks like in the edited forumhome, I've bolded the code I'm having a problem with:

<!-- who's in chat -->

<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="thead" colspan="2">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_activeusers')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_activeusers" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_activeusers].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			<a href="chatonline.php">Currently In Chat: <?("chatonline.php");list_totals();?></a>
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="alt2"><a href="chatonline.php"><img src="chatonline.gif" alt="View Who's Chatting" border="0" /></a></td>
		<td class="alt1" width="100%">
<div class="smallfont">
		<div><?include_once("chatonline.php");list_members(" - ");?></div>
			</div>
</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>	

<!-- end who's in chat -->

I'm no pro at editing vBulletin or modding. The above is cut/edit/paste of the logged in users section directly above this code.

Any help with getting this working will be much appreciated and credited when I post the X7 sort of mod

More info, here is the code in the chatonline.php that is being called:

<?
	function who_is_in_chat(){
		// MySql Information
		$user = "";			// Your MySql username
		$pass = "";			// Your MySql password
		$db = "";			// Your MySql Database
		$prefix = "X7Chat_";		// Your table prefix
		$expire_time = 240;	// The amount of seconds that users can be idle before they are considered offline
							// This value is setable in the X7 Chat admin panel, you must also set it here.
							// If the values do not match then the scripts may be inaccurate.
		// No more editing required

		mysql_connect("localhost",$user,$pass);
		mysql_select_db($db);
	
		$exp_time = time()-$expire_time;
		$q = mysql_query("DELETE FROM {$prefix}online WHERE time<'$exp_time'");
		$q = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM {$prefix}online");
		$results = array();
		while($row = mysql_fetch_row($q))
			$results[] = $row[0];
		return $results;
	}
	
	function list_totals(){
		echo count(who_is_in_chat());
	}
	
	function list_members($sep=", "){
		$online = who_is_in_chat();
		echo implode($sep,$online);
	}

?>
