hey guys..
I'm trying to put a number (actually the total number of people connected) on the web so everybody can see how many people are currently connected.. is there an easy way to do this with the ircd software or one of the modules?
if i could just get it to a file or something.. does anyone have a clue about the easiest way to do this? would be much appreciated.

Create a bot (perhaps even a part of PHP script to show the website) to connect to the ircd and run the LUSERS command (and trap the output).

To do this, you will need to know IRC protocol, and how IRC works

You could also use a stats package such as NeoStats, SolarStats, etc.
