trying to pull out the user_id. It appears in the array. but how can I use it. not listed in the wiki page.

<?php
include '../amember/library/Am/Lite.php';
print_r(Am_Lite::getInstance()->getUser());
$member_id =WHAT DO I PUT HERE;
print_r ($member_id);
?>

What I did was build a function do this.

I hope this gives you some kind of idea.

PHP:

    // @returns the aMember user if from the user name.
    public function get_aMember_user_id_from_username($username) {
 
        $sql = "SELECT user_id FROM amtb_user WHERE login = ? LIMIT 1";
        $q = $this->db->query($sql, $username);
 
        if ($q->num_rows() >0)
        {
            return $q->row()->user_id;
        }
    }
 


You might need to handle your own database connection because I am using CodeIgniter but hopefully you will get the idea. "amtb_user" might be different check your amember mysql install

PHP:

include '../amember/library/Am/Lite.php';
$user = Am_Lite::getInstance()->getUser();
$member_id =$user['user_id'];
print_r ($member_id);


this should work for you
