SOLVED! - reading current logged in user name ?

[Vaupell]

when looking on my forum, and submiting a forum,
i want to add the submitters username or id
actual nickname prefered.

how do i select the current name ?

EDIT.. okay lol i guess i found it..

$bbuserinfo[userid] = uid
not sure about $bbuserinfo[username] gonna try it

$bbuserinfo is for information about *you*, the person viewing the site. If you want information about a user on a page, the variable is different. In a postbit, you would use $post, in most other areas, you would use $userinfo.

its becourse a user submitting a form, i need 2 things

UserID and Username and it will be auto submitted via 2 hidden fields

if i only get one of them, i then need to do a extra query to retrive the other
from user db.

gonna show link like this
Ruid and Rname i get in the while{} all working great,
but i dont trust any user to submit userid or name manually.
therefor on the input page i want those two

<a href="member.php?u='.$row['Ruid'].'" target="_self">'.$row['Rname'].'</a>

and ive found out,, that $bbuserinfo[userid] is just the name, not the id as the name says, haha.



LOL found them, dooh.. !

value=$bbuserinfo[username] />

value=$bbuserinfo[userid] />

If you are looking at the user submitting the form, you do not need to pass the user ID/username. Just get it in the code processing the submitted data.
