Ah yeah, if you don't want to have the characters name in the ouput, and just the number of connected players, you should use my simple script:

<?php

$Server = 'Host.com';
$Port = 9000;
$user = "your_user\r"; 
$pass = "your_pass\r"; 

$fp = fsockopen($Server, $Port);
		
       		fputs ($fp, $user);
		//echo("Login Accepted\r\n");
		usleep(125000);   
      		fputs ($fp, $pass);
		usleep(125000);
		//echo("Password Accepted\r\n");
       		fputs ($fp, "who\r"); 
		usleep(125000);
		//echo("Who launched\r\n");

			
       			while (!feof($fp))
			{
       			$ret = fgets($fp, 128);
       				if  (ereg("players", $ret)){
				$ret = ereg_replace("players online","",$ret);
           				echo "$ret \n";
					break;
                                        fclose($fp);
       				}
				
			}
?>
