New PHP File - Pulling Logged-in User ID?
 

I am trying to make a custom .php page for my site, and have the basics working (PHP file linked to template and displaying okay).

I am trying to pull some fields by linking to the currently logged-in user's UserID. In my select portion I am trying to have it pull the info using $bbuserinfo[userid] and $userinfo[userid], but neither is working.

I have also tried setting a variable to the above, and referencing the variable in the query, but that doesn't work either.

Is there a way to do this? I'm so sorry for the newbie-ish question!

If you want to pull the info of the person viewing the page, you would use $bbuserinfo. In order to use it though, you need to have global.php included in the page. See these articles - How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates) or [How-To] vBulletin API Basics: Creating Custom Pages & Misc.

Many thanks! I had already tried one of those tutorials, but it apparently wasn't pulling the correct things. That error has been sorted out, now onto the actual coding!
