userinfo vars

[thepomonacow]

I am having a hell of a time trying to get the userinfo['userid'] and userinfo['username'] variables from vbulletin. I have attached my code to sho how I am trying to do it. I am trying to use the variables on a page outside of the forum directory.

the result printed out is "0,Unregistered". I know for a fact that I am logged in. Does anyone see anything I am doing wrong???

chdir('/home/mysite/public_html/connect'); 
require_once('./global.php'); 
 

$id = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
$name = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
echo $id, $name;
