getting a variable for currently logged in user... is it possible?

I'm trying to make a script that enables people to choose between a flash banner and a plain image banner. In it, i'm making it read the database to find out exactly what the user has selected. To achieve this, I have to finish the following code:

$fbannerenabled = mysql_query("SELECT 'flashbanner' FROM 'dnet_user_profile' WHERE 'profileid' = ''");

Where is, is where I need to be able to somehow get a variable that indicates which user you are logged in as.

I always thought this was $uid;, but that didn't work.

I have created a script called "flashbanner.php" which resides in the "/include" folder, and is included from "header.php".

Who is able to help me?

You can try this:

include("mainfile.php");

global $xoopsDB, $xoopsUser;

$query = $xoopsDB->query("SELECT flashbanner FROM dnet_user_profile WHERE profileid = "".$xoopsUser->uid().""");
while($row = $xoopsDB->fetchRow($query)){
   echo $row['flashbanner'];
   // to fetch result
}


Good Luck!

$query = $xoopsDB->query("SELECT flashbanner FROM dnet_user_profile WHERE profileid = \"".$xoopsUser->uid()."\"");

It might have something to do with the fact that this value becomes NULL when you are logged out.

Oh.. i didn't notice you put the flashbanner.php in /include folder. Change your mainfile path to

include XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/mainfile.php";

I think it's still not include mainfile.php

Try put your flashbanner.php at XOOPS_ROOT and use:

include("mainfile.php");

Still the same error...
I've looked in the mainfile.php, and $xoopsUser->uid() is not defined or even mentioned anywhere in the file.

$xoopsUser is global variable. We've to include mainfile.php in order to use it. Can u give me your full code or pm me the full code of flashbanner.php.
