Need help finding correct file to edit "Source"

Recommended Posts

I have an SMF forum like this one.

 

I want to edit the "Stats Area" under "Users Online" so that it says "People Online" instead.

 

If I "right click" on the page and select "view source" and scroll to the bottom, I find the "exact" area where that is.

 

The problem is that I am not sure which PHP file I am suppose to go to so that I can actually edit that.

 

I have tried using online "source viewer/editors" but none of them will actually let me "save" it so that it changes.

 

I do not understand exactly "What I am seeing" when I "view source" on the forum.

 

It says that it is the "Index.php" file but none of the "index.php" files seem to have that line of code in them so I am assuming it is somewhere else??

 

Am I seeing MORE than just the "index.php" file when I right click and "view source?"

 

Could someone please tell me the best way to edit "Users Online" to say "People Online"???

 

Thank you

You should get a good book on php to learn what is happening.

 

I presume that another file in included, this means that another file is grabbed and copied and pasted into that page through the use of php. Show us what "index.php" 's code. I can then help you out.
