Accessing vBulletin Membership Data

// Grab the current user for future use
$current_user = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];

(The security token is a hash code, and not what I am looking for.)

If this is the case, what is the name of the table that stores the user data? I need to know where the data is actually defined in the MySQL database in order to mirror the data type and use for future reference.

Thank you very much for your time!

Yes, that code should give you what is called the userid (a positive integer, or 0 for a guest). I believe you want to look at the "user" table.

Hopefully that's what he wants to know - sounds like your brother knows a lot more about databases than I do.
