username/pwd variables

this is more of an advanced question, I hope has an easy answer. I would like to pass via php the current, logged in XOOPS user's username and password to another application. I have the php syntax for the other application, but am wondering how to get the XOOPS user's username and password variables.

Do I just need to include mainfile.php and then use $username or $password, or should I get the info via SQL from the database, or do I need to use cookies?


thx

Re:username/pwd variables

current logged-in user (the one, viewing a page) is stored in a XoopsUser object.

You can access the properites with $xoopsUser->getVar('uname') and $xoopsUser->getVar('pass') respectively.

Note that the password value is encrypted with the MD5 algorithm, so your other application will have to take that into consideration.

You can retrieve the username and password using the $xoopsUser object. I think that the password will be retrieved as md5 format(anybody know this for sure?).

To retrieve the username from the currently logged in user:
$username = $xoopsUser->getVar('uname');


To retrieve the password from the currently logged in user:
$pass = $xoopsUser->getVar('pass');
