For online players do a timer or datetime check that writes to an ini file with the online player count and then use php to read the file on the website.

For password change and everything you need to do a much more complex php script that checks if the account file exists, if the old password entered is valid and then changes it. I assume lotf uses encrypted passwords so you will need to convert the password encryption function to php for use on the site. Use the source as a reference for how the encryption works for passwords.
