How to get current user thier ID?

[M4GN3T]

Hi Guys,

First time developing a plugin for vBulletin, and i think im about to pass out xD. I'm trying to do the following:

$userid = $vbulletin->userinfo[userid];
$sql="SELECT `xp` FROM `rank` WHERE `userid` = '".$userid."'";

To succesfully run this query, i need the current, logged in, user thier user ID. The docs tell me to use userinfo[userid] but its not working for me. Am i doing something wrong? If so, what is it?

$vbulletin->userinfo[userid] should work. Depending on what hook location you're using, you may need "global $vbulletin'" at the beginning of your code.

I am using init_startup, putting a Global didn't work.

Oh, that's why - init_startup is too early. Maybe try global_bootstrap_init_start.

What is the variable to get the User ID of the currently showing MEMBERINFO (users profile ID)? Can't seem to find it.

EDIT: Got it, $vbulletin->GPC['userid'];

Thanks guys =D!
