How To Show Current Players Online (On Webpage)

[Jacen]

So I'm just looking for a simple script that prints the amount of players on a server. If theres 40 in-game it will print 40 on the webpage. Pretty sure this could be done as Ive seen other servers have it.

Also hopefully it would be possible to grab players from 4 servers, merge the number and print the result?

Here is an example I just made using PHP:

Redis is basically programming language agnostic so, if you are more familiar with another language there is likely to be support for it.

Cheers Awol :)

 

It won't help the OP though, this is the A2 section so he's using Sql :p

lol doh, it is not that simple to do with A2 Epoch.

I know the answer is here somewhere, Cen posted a link to the code he uses, I just can't find it.

also has some options though.

So my website is hosted through a Linux server, do I just install the Redis packages, then this script will work. Sorry I do a small amount of backend PHP work but I'm no professional. :D

No, Redis is for A3 and you've posted in the A2 section, that means Awols code won't work because A2 uses Sql, try my link instead.

Oops, I derped. :)
