PHP - Using vB Logins on my website

[henrysommer]

I know this is an old question, but I searched the forum and couldn't come up with anything good. Here's what I'm doing right now...

PHP Code:

require_once '../forum/global.php';
  
global $vbulletin;

print_r($vbulletin->userinfo); 


...even if a user is logged in, the print_r shows me that [userid] => 0 [usergroupid] => 1 [username] => Unregistered.

I guess global.php does not check for active user sessions in the cookies?

How do I go about checking to see if a user is already actively logged in using PHP?

Try:

PHP Code:

$cwd = getcwd();
chdir('../forum/');
require_once('global.php');
chdir($cwd);

var_dump($vbulletin->userinfo); 


[henrysommer]

That did not work, I am still getting the 'Unregistered' username, and a userid of 0.

Are you currently signed in when you check that page?

Is this file on a different subdomain then your forums?
If so, do you have vBulletin Options -> Cookies and HTTP Header Options -> Cookie Domain setup correctly?

[henrysommer]

Yep, currently signed in.

Nope, not on a subdomain.

Also, using VB version 3.6.7, perhaps that makes a difference :-)

I used

require_once('./global.php'); 
if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
    print_no_permission();
}

// do what you want for logged in users

It works fine for me.
