Get logged in user details via php

First off, why would you want to? If you are in the template then you can mix template tags and php quite easily!

Depending upon the why - i would look at creating a plugin or similar to do what you need. As PHP in the template is rarely needed, and it is safer to pull it out to a plugin, extension, module, etc.

Hi Neil,

Well originally… I was having parsing issues with {logged_in_username} as a parameter value. Therefore, the only solution I could think of was getting it with php.

However, I have no solved this thank you. I installed Mo Variables, which turns these global vars into early parsing variables. Also I now realise that low variables allows for this also.

Yeah, if it is a parse order issue effecting your queries then this is always handy: http://loweblog.com/downloads/ee-parse-order.pdf
