I want to show the Visits for the current day on a homepage. That page is tracked with Piwik.
How to use the API with PHP to get the (unique) visits and hits for today so that I can show them somewhere on the page

$result = file_get_contents("http://mysite.com/piwik/?module=API&method=VisitsSummary.getUniqueVisitors&idSite=1&period=day&date=today&format=php");
echo unserialize($result);

Maybe it's later answer but...
A few days ago I wrote a new plugin for Piwik which displays total visit and views on image for custom site for custom date range.
