How do I pass the userid in a URL

I'm integrating a 3rd party script. When the user clicks on a particular link, I need to attach a the userid of the currently logged in user as a subid in the URL.

I'm sure it's buried somewhere in the documentation, but I can't find it.

I've tried www.url.com/randomscript.php?subid=userid but that didn't appear to work.

Try the actual userid number. ie: subid=1

It's carried in..

Code:

$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']

You would need to verify the id when it's sent via a url.

How do I pass that as part of the URL?

This is just a link that I'll be putting into a thread/post. Can I access $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] from within a thread post?

Basically, I'll be starting a new thread that explains the 3rd part script, then says

Please Click Here to launch the script.

How do I get the current user's userid in the <userid> part of that link?

What are you trying to do exactly?

You pass the url like this:

Code:

$urlcode = "<a href='www.domain.com/file.php?id=".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']."'>Link</a>";



echo $urlcode;

Then on the external php file:

Code:

$userid = $_GET['id'];



//sanitize if used in a query

$userid = mysql_real_escape_string($userid);

Of course thats how you would do it, but you really need to validate the userid because anyone can change the value via url.

Did you mean in a template? You should be able to use $bbuserinfo['userid'], if you want the userid of the user clicking the link. If you want the id of the uiser who wrote the post it would be $post[userid].
