Standalone Queries to Output # Members, Posts, Threads

[greenhybrid]

I'm looking to output the number of members, posts and threads on a non-vB page. What would the appropriate queries be to catch these results?

[sql]SELECT SUM(replycount) AS posts, SUM(threadcount) AS threads FROM forum WHERE displayorder != 0 AND (options & 1)[/sql]

[sql]SELECT COUNT(*) AS members FROM user[/sql]

You can also use the datastore:
[sql]SELECT data FROM datastore WHERE title = 'userstats'[/sql]
Unserialize this and use the array-key numbermembers.

Thanks... What's the datastore? Also, not sure what you mean by unserializing and the array-key... my PHP isn't that great.

Assuming that a connection has already been established (as $connection) and the correct database was selected:

PHP Code:

$res = mysql_query($connection, "SELECT data FROM datastore WHERE title = 'userstats'") or die('Could not execute query');
$datastore = mysql_fetch_array($res) or die('Could not fetch result row');
$userstats = unserialize($datastore['data']);
echo "We have $userstats[numbermembers] members";
