Pull stats from billing server and output to a website

[freakmonger]

Anyone know how I can pull stats from the billing server and display them on a website? I.E. when you go to www.mysite.com/serverstats it will display the number of ppl in SSCX Powerball or it will display the top ten pilots in SSCX Chaos Zone, etc. There use to be a site (subspace.net maybe) that would display the zone populations, i've also seen some zone sites that display their zone population. You can contact me by e-mail at freakmonger@subspacenews.com if you would like to help me or need more information.

Thanks

Yes that is where the site will pull the stats from. I just need to get the stats from there onto my site & display something like this:

Trench Wars Population: 500
Powerball Zone Population: 20
Hockey Zone Population: 1

etc, etc.

Well I'm not sure that it's even possible to take the stats directly from the server without some kind of special access, but you could try asking here:

That's probably a better place to ask.

Warzone has a form of what i'm trying to do http://www.wzctf.net/news.php See their top ten pilots, top ten squads etc on the right hand side. I talked with their webmaster and he gave me some of the source code used to do it, but for some reason I cant get it to work. He does pull the stats from the scores site though.

Talk to Rah_Xephon if he still plays. He was able to do it with Omega Fire's old website.

Omega's website probably just regex'd the info they wanted straight off sonera's stats page since they don't publish an RSS feed (or the like). If you want zone populations specificlly, find a page that already publishes that infomation and i'll try to write a little script that grabs it. I don't think sonera has zone player counts, does it?

Benno,

I'm trying to get the information like this page: http://stats.trenchwars.org/

The main information is the:

Current Players Online: 1575
Number of Zones Online: 65
Average Players / Zone: 24.23

But if I could get a page just like that one where they can select what zone they want to view that would be perfect. You can e-mail me freakmonger@subspacenews.com if you need more information or would like to know what its for. Thanks for you help.
