[MajidOnline]

Hello,

I have written a program that the users can upload files .(I haven't programmed this program under the VB or forums program and it is something seperated).

Now I want to do sth that my user IDs would be saved in my database as they log in.

for instance When my forums system were PHPBB the user information was saved in a session that I could use it anywhere in my site.

If you add the following line to the top of your script, you will have access to all vB variables:

require_once(./global.php); 

If your script is located outside your forumhome directory, you will first need to change to that directory.

Now you can use variables like:
$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] (vB3.5)
$bbuserinfo['userid'] (vB3.0)

Thank you for your help

Thank but I should explain that my forum is installed in the /forum folder and the program I programmed is in /main
So when I include global.php ,then this file is included correctly but all the files in global.php doen't include because the folder of my program is diffrent from the one my forum is installed on .

What do you suggest for this problem?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

In your script, start with a chdir() to the forumhome directory, then require global.php
