    Hey guys,

    how is it possible to use WP data (such as logged in username) in seperate PHP scripts? I set a link to a popup in an existing WP page, but I cant use a WP page within that popup (or can I?), cos I’m delivering some variables to the popup page.
    I need some informations from the currently logged in user, any hints? What do I have to include to use getcurrentuserinfo() and such?

    greetings

    If it’s just the username, why not pass it as part of the URL and capture it on the other program with a GET?

    Hey drmike,

    that would be a possibility, but I need(ed) kinda all the information. I used an own templated file within WP and opened it via popup, and it worked.. was a bit more complicated and took longer, but it works.

    Hiey Alphawolf,
    could you pleas show me how u did it? I have a similar problem since I’m trying to send a variable to a .swf file (instead of a popup page).
    More specifically I’m trying to assign the string called by the_title(); within the loop to a variable (&myTitle) and make it displayable inside a swf file which contains a dynamic textfield. Here is my post
