Being forced to forum login page when accessing datamanager in code

[tblancha]

I'm not doing anything fancy and am not calling it inside a function. I did apply a security patch though yesterday. Not sure if that hosed anything.

Here is the code I'm using:

<?php
include_once("global.php");



$vbulletin;


$email = "userMom@myforum.com";

$useridq = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("SELECT userid FROM "
. TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE email='{$email}'");
$syd_userinfo = fetch_userinfo($useridq['userid'], 0, 0);

echo "<br> taya given the email, it found this as the user id: " . $useridq['userid'] . " <br>";


?>
