Suggestions on how to get bbpress / wordpress username/userid from cookie

2 Views

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.

  1. 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];
  }
}
