bbuserinfo Question

[PeteBekisz]

Hi all

Was wondering how I could easily access the $bbuserinfo array from a non-VB page. I have created a script that will practically re-create it, but it only works if the user tells vB to remember them. Anyone have any ideas for either changing this code or accessing bbuserinfo?

<?php
if ($_COOKIE['bbuserid']) {
    $db = new gt_mysql;
    $v = $db->db_selectData("SELECT * FROM user WHERE userid = '$bbuserid'");
    $db->db_close;
    $r = mysql_fetch_row($v);
        $userInfo['id'] = $r[0];
        $userInfo['groupid'] = $r[1];
        $userInfo['name'] = $r[4];
        $userInfo['email'] = $r[7];
        $userInfo['join'] = date("m/d/Y", $r[17]);
    return $userInfo;

}
?>

You can get $bbuserinfo by calling global.php

PHP Code:

chdir('path/to/your/forum/directory/'); //don't use it if your page is in the forum directory
require_once('global.php'); 


Another way : don't need to say to vBulletin to remember them.

PHP Code:

if ($_COOKIE["bbsessionhash"]) {
            $query_session = "SELECT user.* FROM session LEFT JOIN user ON user.userid=session.userid  WHERE sessionhash = '" . addslashes($_COOKIE["bbsessionhash"]) . "' LIMIT 1";
            $result_session = $db->db_selectData($query_session);
            $userinfo = array();
            while($row_session = mysql_fetch_row($result_session)) {
                foreach($row_session as $field => $value) {
                                      $userinfo["$field"] = $value;
                }
            }
}

In theory -- this is a great idea and something I originally used. However, I discovered something really disturbing during a few stress tests.

I've been testing a content management application which bolts on to vB on a dedicated server here. When I included the vB files and hit it with about 7,000 requests, it brought the server load from 0.00 to 18.57. If I manually added the $bbuserinfo array without loading the vBulletin files, it was running around 1.5.
