Calling vb username in another app

[pgowder]

I know that I can require global.php and then call variables like $bbuserid and $bbusername. I've done that on pages I've built before.

What I need now is to pre-populate the form of another app. It's a recipe sharing script.

Here:

I want to have the name and email prepopulated on the add recipe page.

I've trying adding require global.php and putting it in the main vb directory, but that apparently messes up it's internal mysql statements.

Is there another way I can call the information from the cookies? Or some other way??

Thanks
