here's what i'm doing.

PHP Code:


			<?php

if(!isset($_COOKIE['aprilfool'])){

if(isset($_COOKIE['bbuserid'])){

setcookie('aprilfool','haha',time()+2000000,'/', '.yoursite.co.uk');

require('/path/to/your/db/config/info.php');
connectToTheDatabase();    //just pop over to the db and open it up

$sql = "select username, email from user where userid = $_COOKIE[bbuserid] limit 1";
$result = @mysql_query($sql);
list($username,$email) = mysql_fetch_row($result);
?>
