1. No easy way except a query:
[sql]
SELECT COUNT(privatemessageid) FROM privatemessage WHERE userid = $bbuserinfo['userid'][/sql]
2. $bbuserinfo['posts']

[robflack]

why why i use $bbuserinfo['posts']

do i get the message

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /home/londonbydeuk/public_html/forums/communicate/index.php(56) : eval()'d code on line 2

remove 's in the variable name to avoid the error. ie. $bbuserinfo[posts]

By doing that though you're using completely deprecated methods for using arrays.
