andreblue2u:
i want to retrivve the current user on the page its self. to pass on as a variable to a sql query

Old Fossil:
As this is mod related you would be better to use the mods support topic or www.simpleportal.net

Why, exactly?

Depending on what you're trying to use that query for 1) it might not even work and 2) odds are the user id is better to be used anyway (more reliable, faster for most things)

Let us know what you're trying to use it for and maybe we can provide you with better information on how to do it.
