Grabbing XML-RPC

[Zaub]

My friend, Pete plays PuzzlePirates and recently emailed them asking for the PHP code to display how many Pirates are online.

They emailed back saying they don't use PHP, and said this:

Feel free to parse the data from
http://www.puzzlepirates.com/status.xhtml - we don't use PHP; instead, we grab
the numbers internally using XML-RPC.

We just want the number of Pirates online.

Can anyone be nice enough to help?

You don't need to use "XML-RPC" to obtain the data. They said that's what they use, and you can parse the data at that address. What data do you exactly need to obtain? I'm sure I or someone else can write you the necessary PHP script.

Well go to www.puzzlepirates and it says how many Pirates on the hotel, we need that

wouldnt it just be same as habbos online with the url changed?

$lines = file('http://www.puzzlepirates.com/status.xhtml');
echo trim(strip_tags($lines['131'])); 

Haven't tested.
