Display number of users logged in

[Greedfeed]

Hey guys, I have PHP Free Chat setup that integrates with a MySQL server and I would like to make it so that I can display elsewhere on my website how many users are currently in the chatroom, is there an easy way to extract this number from the DB, or do I need to write something custom in the app itself in order to get that number to the DB for me to grab it. Any help is really appreciated, thanks so much guys!

I dont remember if this code works with the MYSQL container or file container but check it out and tell me if works..

change "any_word" string for the name you use..in your chat.

Code: Select all

<?php

require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/pfcinfo.class.php";
$info  = new pfcInfo( md5("any_word") );
// 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 style="margin: auto; width: 100px; padding: 1em;text-align:left;">';
$info = "";
$nb_users = count($users);
if ($nb_users <= 1)
  $info = "<strong>%d</strong> user connected !";
else
  $info = "<strong>%d</strong> users connected !";
echo "<p>".sprintf($info, $nb_users)."</p>";

echo "<ul>";
foreach($users as $u)
{
  echo "<li>".$u."</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
echo "</div>";

?>

Thanks for the help! I modified that code a bit and it works like a charm.

What did you need to modify to make it work here? Does this work with mysql?

yes it does work for mysql container, because he said he is using it..

So I guess it works..

Hi,

I tried to do the same, but I don't know what have I to change for

change "any_word" string for the name you use..in your chat.

my chat has this params :

Code: Select all

$params['title'] = "Phobiesociale";
$params['channels'] = array('pschannel');
$params["serverid"]      = md5(__FILE__);

Is that the thrid word ? Because I have writen

Code: Select all

$info  = new pfcInfo( md5(__FILE__));

at the beginin but it doesn't work.
Of course I tried with the two others words behind : Phobiesociale and pschannel to test but without any success

I think I havn't understand what I have to do to make this script work !


Sorry, I have a little research done and have found this :
