I have been researching both this forum, and the 'net in general, to find a simple bit of code to display the Abyss X2 global variable X_ABYSS_STATS_SERVER_TOTAL. So far, I have found the following snippets:
For PHP

<?php
echo "Total hits: " . $_ENV['X_ABYSS_STATS_SERVER_TOTAL'];
?>

and for SSI

Total hits: <!-- echo var="X_ABYSS_STATS_SERVER_TOTAL" -->

Neither of these seems to be working. I've made sure that both PHP and Perl are installed and working (I run both PHP and CGI scripts on my website with no problems).
My test PHP code is

<?php
echo "Total hits : $X_ABYSS_STATS_SERVER_TOTAL";
?>

My test SSI code is

<html>
<head>
<title>Stat View Test</title>
</head>
<body>
Total server hits: 
<!-- #echo var="X_ABYSS_STATS_SERVER_TOTAL" -->
</body>
</html>

Many of the threads regarding display of server stats suggest AWStats, which I do have installed and working, but I'm looking for something that will show nothing but the global variable I mentioned earlier.
Any ideas as to what I am missing? Before you ask, yes, I have gone through the Abyss docs on SSI, global CGI/SSI variables, etc.
