i have recently included global.php with the following code

PHP Code:

chdir('/forum/');
include('global.php'); 


what code do I use to echo the username and user id in vbulletin 4 ?
Any help would be awesome .Thanks

$vbulletin->userinfo array.

You should be able to use:

$vbulletin->userinfo['username']

$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']
