}

//Check for other notifications in the same way. 


Then you could wrap the $notifications string in the appropriate HTML before appending it to a template hook or you might have a custom template designed that you would simply register this string so it can by output there.

Thanks for the reply BUT i noticed that perhaps I haven't explained what i'm trying to achieve properly.
I understand that

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->userinfo['pmunread'] 


fetches the number of "pmunread" notifications however lets say that there is 1 "pmunread" notification ,what would be the best way to go about retrieving information about this 1 "pmunread" notification eg:- pmtextid, messageread, fromusername, pmid and the associated (serialized) format for that notification type eg:-('user X has just messaged you Re:pmtext');
and then display that in a foreach loop which accounts for a dynamic list of notifications, just like the facebook notifications dropdown.
I hope this makes more sense.
Thanks again for the reply
