Stupid Question Time

[amykhar]

Before I start plowing through code, I figured I'd ask in case anybody knows off the top of their head.

Is there a function that I can use that will return a user's info - or at least their user name, if passed their userid?

If so, what is the name of the function and what file do I need to include to use it?

Thanks,
Amy

you could simple include global.php and have access to $bbuserinfo

Nope. I'm not looking for the logged in user's name. Just the name associated with an arbitrary userid. I know the query to use. Just wondered if there was a function call built in too.

The function 'fetch_userinfo' in ./includes/functions.php
