Is it used with the SMF files or does it load SSI.php? If it is a standalone app, you need to load SSI.php (Like this: require("/path/to/forum/SSI.php");) at the top of the page for it to work.

Once it can grab the information the html code would look something like:

<param name="name" value="', $context['user']['username'], '">
