GET data and display ajax?

[Inny]

Is there any way to count users in my chatroom and display whos chatting using javascript or ajax? code in php below has issues, but this is what it should do.

 
<?php
 
 
$chatnames = file('http://client11.addonchat.com/scwho.pl?id=292747&plain=1');
$indx = count($chatnames);
$indxcom = $indx - 1;
if ($indx == 0) {
echo "<b>No one is in the chat room at the moment</b>";
}
else{
echo "<b>People Chatting:</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;";
 for($i = 0; $i < $indx; $i++) {
 $name = explode('    ', $chatnames[$i], 2);
echo " $name[0]";
 if ($i < $indxcom) {
    echo ", ";
}  
 
  }
}
 
?>

I do not think so. JavaScript is a client side language. To do those things you would need to execute code on the server. So you would need a server side language like JSP, PHP, ASP, etc.
