Subject: PHP HELP - Using A Variable In Tpl Or Html Block

Hi all, I need a little help with a customization of my site.

For my community, I have an IRC channel hosted by azzurra.org. I'd like to put a block in home page (or global) which indicates the number of users in chat at that moment.

Azzurra provides me a script to do so: http://www.azzurra.org/scripts/forumfree.php?chan=MYCHANNEL

This script just prints in plain text a number.

Now, I'd like to put a script on my page that can take that number and put it on a variable, and use that variable to show something like "Chat ( n° )" in top menu overall_header.tpl (like the new posts function) or in an html block...

Can anybody help me with this?

Solved with this:

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

<?php

function chat_users(){

$remote = "http://www.azzurra.org/scripts/forumfree.php?chan=MYCHANNEL" ;

$read = fopen($remote, 'r');

while (false !== ($num = fgetc($read))) {

$chat_users = $num;

echo "$chat_users";

}

}

chat_users();

?>
