Showing username from ID

Hey,

I'm doing some site integration and I'm building a comments system, obviously it's using the vBulletin database for the users.

Example:
1 - Bob
2 - Bill

Bob is browsing the website, the below two lines will show his user ID or his Username

PHP Code:


		
			
$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];

This displays: 1

PHP Code:


		
			
$vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

This displays: Bob

However, when Bill views the website it'll show his name instead of Bob. I thought the following would work, and show any username from the ID I put in

PHP Code:


		
			
$vbulletin->userinfo['1'];

I want something like this, to show 'Bob' as he's user '1'

Obviously it doesn't work, does anyone know how to display a Username from an ID?

You would probably have to do an SQL query that searches the userid and returns the name.

Create a function or something, unless someone else has another method.

Actually managed to dig it out of the vB3 section.
