[HELP] Online users

[Monkey]

Hey, this is really nooby but I'm developing a CMS and as I'm new to it I was wondering how to display the online users.

Such as on Rev you do {online}.

Is it possible if someone told me how he did it?

Well, if you're using phoenix emulator, it's quite simple. Just simple use mysql_result and all should be well. Here, I'll do it for you.

$q = mysql_query("SELECT online_users FROM server_status LIMIT 1");
mysql_result($q, 0);

Here is how it works. Firstly, the line where it says $q = mysql_query(....); isn't really needed. It's just to make the code look more clean. You can simply do:

mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT online_users FROM server_status LIMIT 1") , 0);

That will have the same output as the above. Supposing you know how the mysql_query function works, and you're already connect to a database, the mysql_result functions basically fetches the result of the query. The zero basically means the first result, incase there was more then one result.
