how to access variables on a external page....

Ok, I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but I've never recieved a straight answer!

How can I access certain variables (like the userid for example) from an external page. eg. test.php

I know if the user has cookies on, i can do this :

PHP Code:


		
			


<?php



$bbuserid = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbuserid'];



echo $bbuserid;



?>

which would display the users current user number....

but this only works half the time. what if the user does not have cookies installed?

any hints here on a more reliable way to do this?

thanks.

nevermind figured it out, HOWEVER.

what else is contained within $bbuserinfo...

i mean, i know you can get username, userid, etc... what else can you get?

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "<pre>";

print_r($bbuserinfo);

echo "</pre>";

I believe it's just a cached row from the user table plus some random additional things. It even contains the user's passhash.
