    I wouldn't rely on another script for that. It just makes stuff slower and more likely to fail

    Kyosys, to find it out yourselve is quite hard! but if you do so, please cache the results! in a SESSION, DB or textfile because an external PHP request takes more time. Once is ok, but every page is stupid!
