Getting user details in PHP - \IPS\Session\Front::i();

[Simon Harvey]

Hello,

I am trying to put together a page outside of IPB on the same server that detects if a user is logged in or not.

I am using the code:

require_once '/{absolute path to IPB}/init.php';

/* Initiate the session to verify who this user is */
\IPS\Session\Front::i();

echo 'Name: ' . \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->name;

But this is returning strange data:

Name: 8b21f99914133482083efd11a04e0584

Do you know what I am doing wrong?  Do I need to process the returned value in someway to receive the correct information?

When I try to get the user ID nothing is returned:

echo $userid = \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id;

I am doing this while logged in as administrator.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks a lot.

PS the returned value for \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->name; is different on each page refresh.

No it should be the member's name. Have you tried to dump the whole object?

var_dump(\IPS\Member::loggedIn());

What about the result of \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id ?

 

Also you may want to post in "Development Assistance" next time :).

Thanks a lot.  Yes sorry, I should have posted there - but I'll stick with this thread now I've started it.

This is the dump:

This is because you are logged as Guest :

$username = \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id ? \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->name : \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->language()->get('guest');

 

[Simon Harvey]

Thanks @Alexis C - I'm not sure why that is because I am actually logged in as admin - i've just double checked that too to make sure.

I'm not sure why that is  being shown.  Any ideas?

Thanks again.

I have tried this now in a couple of different browsers and with different users logged in and I am getting the same result in each. 

[Simon Harvey]

Ok, solved the issue - a stupid mistake!

My IPB is installed with www. subdomain but I was running the script without www. so I'm guessing the cookies weren't being read.

Thank you both very much for all your help, sorry for wasting your time!
