Well you can get the names of the online users with the script that I
posted in that thread.  The script is in perl, you could write it in PHP
if you wanted, or just call it from cron every minute and let it write
to a filename of you choice.

For each user this will give you an XML chunk like so:

<presence from='JID at SERVER.COM/RESOURCE'>
   <priority>5</priority>
   <show>chat</show>
   <status>Online</status>
   <x xmlns='jabber:x:delay' stamp='20030415T16:25:57'
      from='JID at SERVER.COM/RESOURCE'/>
   <x xmlns='jabber:mod_admin:who' timer='7944' from='580'
       to='490'/>
</presence>

You can parse these chunks easily enough, either using regular
expressions, or if you wish, a full XML parser.
