Need some help with mantis..

[Picard1595]

Hi,
I am trying to make a script that counts the bugs on mantis. And updates its whenever a bug is opened/ closed. I am just not sure where to start exactly. I want it to do/look like this webpage (at the bottom):

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Picard
