The fetch_userinfo function is pretty much the same thing as doing a SELECT statement, it adds a query per user. I want to do this WITHOUT adding any queries. Thanks for the tip; but thats not the solution I am looking for.

I want to use fetch_musername without having to use the SELECT or fetch_userinfo functions; since they add queries.

Let me explain what I am trying to do in further... I am using addonchat (I dumped flashchat), and AddonChat supplies its own "who's online" file on their remote server.

MINE: http://client11.addonchat.com/scwho....in=1&id=367901

What I am doing is parsing the raw data from that file (it has two pieces of data worth drawing for vBulletin: username and userid). The first value is the username, and the fourth value is the userid. For each pull of the userid, I want to call up the musername for that userid and display it in a "Who's chatting" box. Using fetch_userinfo or a SELECT statement to get the information based on the userid; will add an extra query for EACH user who is chatting. But, there are no queries in fetch_musername; which is why I want to use that instead.
