Question

[dibiase]

How do i display how many players are online?

the following code does NOT work:

mysql_select_db($mydbacc);
$res = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) FROM account WHERE online = 1");
$val = mysql_fetch_array($res);
echo "Total Characters Online: ".$val[0]."<br />";

I need the correct code please.
thanks

adding this to your index.php should show Online players.

i know how too .... been reading up on it but i haven't tested yet .... free webhosts suck ... i pay for all my web hosting separate from the server so the server purely dose the server no site data .... other than torrenting the client ....
