Question

I am trying to integrate my site to use the bbpress/wordpress user system.

All I need is the ability to get the User Name and/or User ID of the person currently on my site. I don’t really need any other functionality from bbpress or wordpress on the site.

If I could get the user’s ID and then the ability to get the user’s name from that ID would be perfect for all of my needs.

Additional Info: My site is ran on PHP5 and MySQL, I have wordpress and bbpress upto date and currently integrated with each other.

Have you tried just printing out the contents of $_COOKIE? Mine contains the following:

Array (     [wordpress_test_cookie] => WP Cookie check     [wordpress_logged_in_##########] => ceejayoz|#####|##########] ) 

Should be simple for you to parse.

foreach($_COOKIE as $key => $value) {   if(preg_match('@^wordpress_logged_in_@', $key) {     $cookie = explode('|', $_COOKIE[$key]);     $username = $cookie[0];   } }
