Pass user name to external link

Hi,

I'm redirecting users to an external link after login. How can I pass their user name? I know how to pass it ...http://....?username=.. I just don't know the user variable and if I can add it to the link (in Protect Content-Links) or through a php page (..which page).

Have a look here http://www.amember.com/docs/API/Lite

$username = Am_Lite::getInstance()->getUsername()

You can then pass $username in normal ways

Thanks. It worked!
