passing a vbulletin variable to javascript

[m0nde]

I'm trying to pass a person's userid to javascript. I've set up the following test in my footer.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var userid = parseInt("$bbuserinfo['userid']", 10);
// -->
document.write("<strong>test " + userid + "</strong>");
</script>

I get the following.

What am I doing wrong?

If this is in a template, then you have to use vBulletin 4 template syntax.
It would be something like {vb:raw bbuserinfo.userid} instead of $bbuserinfo['userid'].
