how do i pass vBulletin variables to my PHP script?
 

i can get the number of posts of a user using $bbuserinfo[posts] in my vBulletin template, but i want to get the $bbuserinfo[posts] from my PHP script instead of the template, how do i do it? :ermm:

Query the database.

but i'll need the username or member id to query the database, which means i'll still need to pass a vB variable to my php script isn't it? cos i'm using vB's login session...

If you are using a vB login (i expect by using the global.php) you will have access to the $bbuserinfo array. That one holds all the user information you need.

is it possible for me to include a php file inside a template?

I don't think so, but then again, i'm not too sure about the templates and what is ok and not ok yet.

What is it you're actually trying to do? Knowing that will go a long way to being able to provide a solution.
