   Hi,
   I'm new with WordPress (but I know PHP & MySQL) and I don't know how I can get the user info (for example: the user's id..).
   I tried to use wp_get_current_user() but it returns 'Object'.. ôO
   With what function do you get user's info?

   Thanks,
   (sorry, for my english, I'm French ...)

   "for example: the user's id"

   This:

   <?php global $user_ID; ?>

   should make sure it's available for whatever you need it for. A number of WordPress vars related to the 'current' user are scoped globally, among which are:

   $user_login
$user_level
$user_ID
$user_email
$user_url
$user_identity

   Something like:

   $user = wp_get_current_user();

   allows you to access the data for that user thusly:

   $user->user_level
$user->ID

   damn everything but user_role, you mean there's no code to get user_role ?, the role is more important than the capability as far as access goes,
