Grabbing Username...
Hi..I've been playing with this for a little while, but I'm still a little stuck :p Does anyone know how to call the USERNAME cookie stored on the users coomputer? In the Perl plugins, you can use $USER->{Username}, but I can't seem to work out how to do this in PHP Frown

Cheers for any help you can offer.

$USER->{Username} isn't grabbing a cookie value, $USER is a hashref from the Users table.

If you can track down where the cookie is set (presumably on a login processing page), then you should be able to use that info to retreive it:

<?php echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['cookie_name']; ?>
