Number of people in chat....?

[drnic2032]

Is there any way to call into the PHP routine in order to output how many people are currently in the chat?

I'm trying to setup a page with a link into the chat that says how many people are already there. Please le t me know. Thanks!!

In your chat.php page, you must have this parameter:

$params["serverid"] = md5("Whatever you Want"); // calculate a unique id for this chat

Put this in the page where you want the User list to display:

Code: Select all

            <?php
         require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/chat/src/pfcinfo.class.php";
         $info  = new pfcInfo( md5("Whatever you Want") );
         // NULL is used to get all the connected users, but you can specify
         // a channel name to get only the connected user on a specific channel
         $users = $info->getOnlineNick(NULL);
         echo '<div align="center">';
         $info = "";
         $nb_users = count($users);
         if ($nb_users <= 0)
           $info = "<center>%d users in the Chat Room</center>";
         echo "</div>";
         echo "<div>";
         echo "<p>".sprintf($info, $nb_users)."</p>";
         echo "<ol>";
         foreach($users as $u)
         {
           echo "<li>".$u."</li>";
         }
         echo "</ol>";
         echo "</div>";
         ?>

Got errors when I tried this.
I have

Code: Select all

$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // calculate a unique id for this chat

in chat.php
I have exactly the code presented above in another php page (was just html before)
But when I open that page I get this

Code: Select all

Warning: require_once(D:xampphtdocsDirectory/chat/src/pfcinfo.class.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:xampphtdocsDirectorydirectory.php on line 36

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'D:xampphtdocsDirectory/chat/src/pfcinfo.class.php' (include_path='.;D:xamppphppear') in D:xampphtdocsDirectorydirectory.php on line 36

I'd be most grateful for some assistance, thanks.

In case my problems are related to testing on a localhost I'm now trying this live on the web-server.
I have

Code: Select all

$params["serverid"] = md5(ForumChat); // calculate a unique id for this chat

in chat.php.

This is the (first part) of the code I have in ../directory/directory.php ( in relation to the Chat folder )

Code: Select all

      <?php
            require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/chat/src/pfcinfo.class.php";
            $info  = new pfcInfo( md5(ForumChat) );
            // NULL is used to get all the connected users, but you can specify
            // a channel name to get only the connected user on a specific channel
            $users = $info->getOnlineNick(NULL);

and the error messages are

Code: Select all

Warning: require_once(/home/nzmotorh/public_html/directory/chat/src/pfcinfo.class.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/nzmotorh/public_html/directory/directory.php on line 36

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/nzmotorh/public_html/directory/chat/src/pfcinfo.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/nzmotorh/public_html/directory/directory.php on line 36

There is no "chat" folder in /directory but when I try to hard-code "/home/nzmotorh/public_html/chat/src/pfcinfo.class.php", I still get error messages.

I really would appreciate some help with what must be a somewhat simple problem - although it defeats me.

Got it working, thanks to another thread here

require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/pfcinfo.class.php";

// the next line you MUST EDIT FOR YOUR OWN SERVER ...........
$serverId = "xxxxe0c89fxxxxxxxxbf618b4608xxxx";


$chatinfo= new pfcInfo($serverId );
$users = $chatinfo->getOnlineNick(NULL);

sort($users);
$nd_users = count($users);
$info = "";
if ($nd_users==0) {
echo "There are no users online";
} else {
echo "$nd_users users online";
foreach($users as $u)
{
echo "<li>".$u."</li>";
}}
echo "</ul>";

what worked for me was to look at the unique number generated in the private/log/folder on my server (as shown above) using a standard FTP programme - just substitute your folder string

i testing now that number of people in chat, but now , it is not ok .. .. pls tell me if u know.

firstly i run this following code.

require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/LIVE_CHAT/src/pfcinfo.class.php";
$info = new pfcInfo( md5(__FILE__) );
// NULL is used to get all the connected users, but you can specify
// a channel name to get only the connected user on a specific channel
$users = $info->getOnlineNick(NULL);
echo '<div align="center">';
$info = "";
$nb_users = count($users);
if ($nb_users <= 0)
$info = "<center>%d users in the Chat Room</center>";
echo "</div>";
echo "<div>";
echo "<p>".sprintf($info, $nb_users)."</p>";
echo "<ol>";
foreach($users as $u)
{
echo "<li>".$u."</li>";
}
echo "</ol>";
echo "</div>";

and then i enter the chat with 2 browsers and 2 nickname. The result is still 0 users in the chat.

Second , i run this following code.

/*require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/pfcinfo.class.php";*/
$serverId = "dfb9e0c89fa5f31b6abf618b460839bc";
$chatinfo= new pfcInfo($serverId );
$users = $chatinfo->getOnlineNick(NULL);

sort($users);
$nd_users = count($users);
$info = "";
if ($nd_users==0) {
echo "There are no users online";
} else {
echo "$nd_users users online";
foreach($users as $u)
{
echo "<li>".$u."</li>";
}}
echo "</ul>";

and then i enter the chat with 2 browsers and 2 nickname. The result is still "There is no users online".

why?? pls tell me if u know ..

thanks all

$serverId = "dfb9e0c89fa5f31b6abf618b460839bc"; ???
is this correct ? Do you know that, for your server ?

[OldWolf]

Serverid can be set to whatever you want, it just needs to be the same on both, and something that can't be easily guessed.

[waiheke]

Make this file, called findchatinfo.php and upload to your chat folder, then run it.
(assuming you are using the default settings, out-of-the-box installation, for the $startdir)

The final string, of the numbers echoed to screen should the numbers you're looking for






<?php
function folderlist(){
$startdir = '././data/private/logs/';
$ignoredDirectory[] = '.';
$ignoredDirectory[] = '..';
if (is_dir($startdir)){
if ($dh = opendir($startdir)){
while (($folder = readdir($dh)) !== false){
if (!(array_search($folder,$ignoredDirectory) > -1)){
if (filetype($startdir . $folder) == "dir"){
$directorylist[$startdir . $folder]['name'] = $folder;
$directorylist[$startdir . $folder]['path'] = $startdir;
}
}
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
return($directorylist);
}

$folders = folderlist();

$keys = array_keys($folders);
$path=implode(", ",$keys);
echo $path;
?>

[waiheke]

Oh
I just found a post by Old Wolf, with much more elegant code


Copy this to the very bottom of your chat page and upload and run it to see the params
The 1st entry is the number string you want

<?php
echo '<h2>Debug</h2>';
echo '<pre>';
$c =& pfcGlobalConfig::Instance();
print_r($c);
print_r($_SERVER);
echo '</pre>';
?>

"tell me complete code."
??
You have it, there above you
Post 6 and Post 11

Change only the ID string in the code in Post 6 AFTER using the Post 11 to find out what it is.
No one can tell you what it is - you need to find it out for yourself, because it's unique to your server. Only for you.

[sandarminaye]
