Well, I couldn't find anything about it here (neither did I at the official WP board) so:

As far as I know there is no plug-in to show your WhatPulse stats in your msn screenname. I would love to have this. Maybe someone is a good scripter/programmer and will make this within days. :x

I've been thinking about making this plugin. I'll see if i can make it happen.

shouldnt be too hard

in case you didnt know you can just use the xml stats here

http://whatpulse.org/api/users/<userid>.xml

example: http://whatpulse.org/api/users/101044.xml <=mine

You can also get it in plain text format:
http://whatpulse.org/api/user.php?account=TheGeek for example...

thats the old api , which shouldnt be used because (well last I read) was going to be replaced by the xml formatted one

Indeed. Besides, it's much easier to parse XML.

Most of the times, yes, but in PHP it's really hard to parse php afaik.
A simple substr is a lot easier in php...

There's a build-in XML parser. And also, making a XML parser in PHP is very easy as well.

I never got it to work.
It just provides an opentag event and a closetag event AFAIK.

wtf? its simple as to use and parse eg
lets say you have to parse

code:

---

<temp>
<item1>blah</item1>
<item2>blah2</item2>
</temp>

---

all you do is create a instance of the xml_parser , get it to parse that xml above($toparse) and free the xml_parser

code:

---

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_parse_into_struct($xml_parser, $toparse, $arr_vals ,$index);
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);

---

$toparse is the xml code
$arr_vals is an array which has the names of the nodes and a refernce to the $index array
$index array has the values of the nodes

then to access the content of a node we just use something like where $node is the node
$arr_vals[$index[$node][0]]['value'];
